Well, maybe bronze. Makes me want to go into one of my wind rants. Been blowing since I got here for the most part. Yesterday had mahoganies for a couple hours in the afternoon, with a few baetis. Fish were on mahoganies for a bit, but no big ones. Same with the baetis today. Not many big fish up, tons of dinks. A lot of walking up and down the Preserve.
Seems the winds of October are everywhere in the northern Rockies, just like last year, and most other years. Its all getting ready to come to an end, even though over half of the month is still left. It's wearing on me, 27 days in. Guess it should be.

First thing I saw at the bottom of the trail. Dead little bull moose. On the preserve. ??

Too much surface disturbance

 |
This run should be mirror smooth.

Good one working here where the tree blocked the wind, and where you couldn't get a drift past the tree to where the fish was rising.
|
 |
Good leaf hatch. That ain't over yet.
|
 |
Hooked a nice one on this bank. It calmed down a little when the hatch was over.

I used to kind of laugh at this. Now I think how convenient it is to have a place to sit down for a bit. It overlooks a pool with a few of the largest, spookiest fish on the upper creek. You can watch them swimming up and down the pool, side to side, not rising. If you approach the creek to consider a cast, they disappear into the far bank. I think we need one of these about every 200 yards along the banks of the Ranch!
