Got out for just a bit this late afternoon.

Two words:  WINDY, COLD.

One bad experience:  FACE PLANT IN A RAPID

Yikes.  Not too much water down my waders, but kind of jacked my ankle and got my upper body pretty wet.  With the 30-40 mph gusts, that sort of sucked.

Did get one nice fish out of the deal - about 18-19 inches.  Pic to come.

Got him either on a green fox poopah or military may fly.  Can't tell you b/c in my net, no fly was in his mouth.  Think it was the poopah.

Flows were up a lot -  but pretty clear.  You guys are right about above the bridge - there is a TON of silt up there.

Pride was wounded, rod was OK.

Actually, when I fall, it's worthy of note.  Nothing to be ashamed of!

Like I have always said, you're not doing things right unless you go in a couple times a year.  Sometimes it's better to swim over to the fish anyways.biggrin

Except, it hurts a lot worse when falling onto hard packed snow. My first go around at snowboarding last week, I took a fall (Yardsale) and thought I seperated my shoulder and hip. Thank god I didn't, cuz I got some hardcore fishing to do this year.
