Meanderings

Stalking trout with dry flies. Floating, wading, and camping along the rivers. Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Winter trips to Mexico.

Flooded

Low water, sunny, no wind, and just getting up to freezing at 10am.  Not many bugs, but just enough BWO's to bring a few fish up sporadically.  And then, just when things looked promising, the jackass in the white truck jacks the water up all of a sudden.  Never seen this happen so fast.  It rose 6-8", the current speed doubled, and it was all over.  Then, an hour later, the fucker dropped it back some, but it was still murky with weeds flowing, and the hatch was over. 
Started out nice enough

Low and Clear

Some fish


Pacific Power Motherfucker

Like a flash flood

Mats of weeds and dirty water

At its worst
