Fishing the Elk below the dam

Floated down the river between big turn hole and just above paint ball.  I caught 41 fish in about 6 hours.  13 on "chartreuse woolly", 19 on "Kenny",  2 on "trout candy" and 6 on a parachute Adams.  I actually found a hatch on the river for about 25 yards.  I caught 6 out of 7 strikes so they were really keying on the dry.

I actually caught a trout that looked very close to a brook trout.  There had been several others reporting  catching brook trout.  The fish I caught was actually a brown trout.  The red spots were very large but all other charatristics were of a brown trout.  If you look close at all brown trout they have red spots across the lateral lines.  These were just abnormally large.
