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.

Yesterday

Yesterday I went near the bridge to do some after-work angling. The flows were up, the fishing down, and the trash all around. After nymphing and streamer fishing for a bit, I switched almost entirely to trash collecting. Does anyone have any luck/tips when the flows jump up a bit? Vince
