    OK..........
    Big fish pics/threads seem to get pulled when people comment on them.
    How about just reading my posts.........no feedback needed.
    I don't post to get feedback anyway, just to clue you guys in on what's happening fish wise.
    Please start another thread if you want to discuss fish ethics....or weather insights......
    Not looking to be an authority on any other water.....just the T. Mastering the hard water is enough for me.
    Call or email for more info. Or check my blog/website.


    The river is very warm.......65+deg. nearing a hoot owl closure.....and very clear. 319cfs in town.
    Lots of folks flogging almost every square inch of water. (But not all of it.....)
    Most are doing poorly........you can't just walk around whacking them....without developing some skill at the sneak...and a perfect drift.....
    Watched a guy in a red hat and a white shirt, and a splashy cast work hard for an hour, for naught........no kidding.
    Bring more game to score well. Being a fish hero elsewhere is no free pass here.............
    Call if I can help.....I have helped many improve their game.
    Fish have slowed at rising....not just temps, but pressure too. Getting stung a few times will teach them not to rise.
    I have felt it slow dramatically over the last week or two. They are shifting to live in the bubbles.....
    I recommend dawn and dusk.........why do people roll out at high noon, and expect a fish?
    Mid-day is a great time for a nap.
    There are Infequines coming off. PMDs, and few Baetis.......Drakes done?
    Seeing Cray parts........
    Caddis are going at night. Really going.
    Get a tackle buddy and pre-rig a few two-fly setups for after dark. Tie one knot and have two flies on.
    Take a head light!

    Hope you are enjoying the Summer......
    Treat'em nice.

    Thanks for the info bigfly..............personally I love the pictures and I hate the haters.............please show us a few more. Don't let them intimidate you, besides photos always stimulate business and I'm sure Bill will love that.

    I was surprised when the thread was pulled...Bill thought it was "going bad".
    If I could, I would lock it so no more posts were possible, just so folks could still see the fish pics.....and read current info....
    I'm not intimidated by feedback....as always, I consider the source......
    Thanks for encouragement.....see you on the water!

    Sorry Jim, just felt the urge to second your guidance on taking the middle of the day off. Fished last weekend down in the canyon, and you could feel the light switch go to off at about 11 am. Lots of Sallies and Caddis hatching, but no action mid-day. Time to enjoy a Torpedo or two.

    Thanks for the report Jim.
