Fly Fishing on the Elk around the bend again 12/3/09

Went fishing on a cold dreary day thinking I would have the river to myself but nooooo! There were still 5 cars in the parking lot when I got there around 12:30 pm.  It was the coldest day yet and still some die hard fishermen were there.  I wanted to try out some new flies so I fished them close to the dam and after making sure they would catch fish there.  I went on down around the bend.  The upper section is the hardest this time of year with all of the pressure it gets.

I caught 42 fish from 12:30 to 4:30.  I caught 22 on the Kenny.  I caught 6 on the san juan worm.  I caught 2 on the olive sparkle woolly bugger.  Then I tested my new woolly and caught 11 on it.  I will be selling it in the shop. and also caught 1 on a zug bug.  The zug bug was suggested as a real winner but Rhonda and I both tried it and it didn't really work for us.
