Anyone have any luck today. I went out and didnt see one fish but seen enough bait fisherman to make it a dissapointing day. I only met one other fly fisherman. Water was way too swift and deep to get to any good spots. I had to use two AB weights and it was still not enough to get my flies to the bottom.
