Well I was surprised that they were not generating today. I went hunting this morning and after letting a 4 pointer walk I decided to call it a day. I noticed that they were not generating so I decided to go fishing. I arrived at the dam at 1:30 pm. There was 6 vehicles there. Warren Patterson was there at the log fishing. I think he said that he caught 6 fish there.
Denny Edwards was about 50 yards above where I wanted to fish. So rather than crowd him I decided to walk on down around the bend. I started fishing right where the river starts necking back down. I caught 5 fish right there and then caught the best of the day a nice 17" rainbow. That is a measured 17 inches by the way.
When I mention a size or a number they are either measured or placed on my counter. They are not left to memory or a guess. I put a dot of red fingernail polish every inch on my rod above my grip which is exactly 7" long. I also keep 4 counters with me so that I can keep up with the fish that I catch on each fly I use since I cant take my shoes off to help count my fish.
My final total was 34 fish. I caught 21 on the kenny, 7 on the san juan worm, and 6 on the charteuse woolly bugger.
Most of the fish averaged between 10 and 12 inches. Only two were browns.
I really only fished about half of the water that is around the bend.
