Yesterday I went fishing with my buddy Tim. We decided to hit a piece of water that would require a long hike. We arrived to the access point around 8am. Without a cloud in the sky and with low/clear stream conditions we tried dries, nymphs, and finally streamers. We actually had the most success sight fishing wiht some streamers that Tim ties.
We both landed trout periodically. Fish ran on the smaller side although we turned a few 15-16 inchers. This guy came out from a boulder to strike the streamer.
This trout wasn't vary long but look at how thick he is! While fighting the beast I expected to see a much larger fish come to hand. At around 11am a decent trico hatch began. We tried dries on and off with very little success. A few caddis, olives, and craneflies flutter around but fish did not rise consistently at any point.
This was my big fish of the day. After hiking and fishing quickly upstream we turned around at 3pm. Plans to cast streamers down and across fell through when Tim and I conceded to exhaustion and opted to just hike out.
