Spent a nice morning (past lunch...) below the Highway 20 bridge on Saturday. Mostly tossed hoppers along the banks; scored my first three trout of the year between 12:30 and when I quit at 1:30. :D Beautiful resident rainbows going from about 12 to 15 inches. 8) Missed two others :oops: (one was in the morning).
The only fish I saw on the surface were the ones that hit my fly. The only bugs I saw around the water were butterflies cruising by.... The drift boaters I talked to were all getting a few, some on nymphs and some on caddis dries.
The water was nice and clear, in the low to mid-50's, and still flowing swiftly.
I can't beat getting to watch trout streak out of nowhere to whack a bushy dry. :D :D
