Notes

Excellent day!. There is nothing like walking five minutes from your house to the river and catching fish. the fish were small of course, but it was fun nonetheless. Started out in my float tube nymphing with # 16 pheasant tail and #22 black zebra midge as a dropper. I caught two fish within the first 30 minutes. Then I decided to get out of my tube and fish an elk hair caddis. I picked up two more and it was a blast. Great place to fish, easy access, and plenty of targets.
