We aren’t done yet! Fish were snapping yesterday, and as long as the weather is consistent they will continue.

If you have ever wanted to learn to fly fish, there is still plenty of time left in the year! Every fly angler I have guided in the last couple of months has started learning how to fly fish while catching fish regularly through the trip. Size, numbers, and variety have helped us enjoy some banner days on the water.

Nymphing today led to solid action. Fish were on edges of runs and ready to eat.

Another great day with fly equipment. The dry fly bite was slow. Switched the nymphs and were on fish almost constantly. Lost a real big mystery fish after they rocketed toward timber. Gotta love the variety and unknowns this kind of fishing affords.

What started as a non-stop dry fly bite turned into a Euro nymph bite and it was an amazing turn of events. Lots of hungry fish and did not have to wade far for them!

With the shiners not being present at the launch, its always helpful to have other bait. Did not slow down catch rates, just increased “by catch” on a perch trip. That means more gills and redears than usual. Still adds up to a respectable number of perch and a cooler full.
