Where have all the fish gone?
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
I spent 7 hrs nymphing and didn't get a single strike! I've talked with a couple of fellows on the river and they had similar results. Are the fish on a special diet? Have they left their usual holds and gone walkabout? Or is this typical for this time of year?

Found a nice watch
(Preview)
Finally back to fishing, was on the creek yesterday and found a nice watch on a trail between access #3 and #4. Might not be fisherman's watch, kind of fou fou . On second thought might be a fly fishermans watch. Also found a jar of green power bait. Call the local DFG office to retreive it.

Take your pick all the bugs were hatching today. BWOs, midges, little winter stones, little yellow stones, big mayflies that look like March Browns, but are probably Pink Alberts and quite a few glossies. I guess they had no choice but to hatch.

Took a drive to see what the creek looked like. Very brown zero visibility. Cold Creek and Thompson are both dumping in silt. Also getting a good amount of silt from a few new gullies around the burn area mid creek. It is funny I saw someone trying to fish with zero visibility.
