Notes

USGS 13185000 BOISE RIVER NR TWIN SPRINGS ID
Used MF flow - MF still moderately slited.
Hiked up NF from comfluence with MF. As usual, road SUCKED.
Water was clear, cool, and low. Fished the holes and got fish after fish. Used the Hare's Ear from Anglers - NF fish love red in flies and the orange highlights had them frenzied. Same with the red CJ but more fish on the HE. Saw a few folks (bummer) but lots of water. Hiked up ~1-1.5 miles - holes got a little sparce the farther up we went. Had to cross over river 2-3 times d/t rock faces.. Saw a few surface hits but the nymphs were working so good, just stayed with them.
Lost at least half as many as brought in.
Perfect day for dishing.
