Fun Fishing, One River Crossing, And A Few Fish On.

Today was another action packed day on the river. Derrick and I found a few feisty bull trout, and some dollies. The water level had come up since last weekend, and that made for some better fly water. I was using a weighted fly that I tied up with a cone head. That one worked the best for me. As we worked our way down the run, we thought about crossing the river and fishing, from the other side. It looked great. It was funny because we just looked at one another, and said there has to be fish there. We figured the best way to wade the tailout, and went for it. About half way across, it began to get deeper, and the current was pushing hard. At that point we were waist deep in water, commited to making it to the other side. As we neared the far bank, the current slackend off and we were safely on the other side. We fished the whole run all the way to the end as far as we could go. No hits, no pulls, no takers what so ever. We walked back up and crossed over to where we were before. I guess it just goes to show you, that looking at a certain piece of water from one side, doesn't mean that it will give you, a better fly drift from the other side. There is the possibility, and sometimes you get lucky. We worked our way through some other good water, and called it a day. What a day, a fun day.!!!!!
