Meanderings

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

Desert Oasis-East

Its been just over 7 years since the fire and debris flows of 2013.  Sediments have been flushed, thousands of plants replanted, flows are clear, and its full of trout!  300 cfs and the wading is easy.  No muck.  Sunny and 70.

They liked the little wiggly for a couple hours before the hatch. Then there were just enough BWO's and caddis, and just enough risers, to get the afternoon going.  The magic hour was 3 to 4, when the sun dipped behind the mountain where I fished just below Indian Rock at 121P.  Always a fish or two to cast to.  The whole canyon was busy, but this run kept me busy all day.  Fish seemed on the thin side, but strong nonetheless.  


Early fish at the head of the run



Still some leaves, and slight coloration



Same as yesterday, only a #16.  All I needed.

Fading light was good
