Winter to Spring.. Upper Squamish.







Bryan, Dan, and myself found orselves in a bit of a snowstorm when we arrived at the Ashlu Bridge campground. The flakes were big and there was a light dusting on the ground. As we drove up the valley the flakes started coming down harder, with alittle bit more snow on the ground on the sides of the road. We pulled off at 27mile, and set up for the drift down. As we floated along and stopped to fish the good spots, the snow had stopped at about 25mile. Then all of a sudden the sun came out and it felt like spring, I decided to take off my jacket. It wasn't to cold at all just right the perfect fishing weather. The sun was up high and kept a steady warmth through the afternoon, I have to say that it didn't help the fishing greatly because any fish that were there would be under log jams, or some other form of cover. I did however have a hit in this perticular area, even though it was still fairly bright out.. As we drifted around that 24mile area there was a spot that did produce a couple of hits and a nice dolly. It was a deep spot so I figured that there would be one there, it was a good call to spend some xtra time fishing through it.. My colors were a purple and black Hobo Spey, a yellow marabou tube fly, and a white and blue marabou tube fly. It was a great day out on the upper squamish, with Bryan, and Dan.. With some wierd weather to boot.. That's the way it goes in the squamish valley.. Good times!!...
