So Predictable

I'm sort of pointed to home.  Fishing's hanging on by a thread.  Flat.  But once I'm home, the summer mind-set is kaput.  I'm weak, or smart, probably the former. I just can't quite drive away when you-know-where is just a short air conditioned drive up the road a piece.  DW has new digs exactly one hour away from the best trout river in America.  Day trip tricos and caddis from dawn to noon, maybe some pmd's, head back home, repeat.  This is how to finish strong, yes sir.  Let's play four.  We do.  6-8 fish mornings, good fish.  A bonus afternoon when some clouds kept things comfortable.  There's no place like it.

Starts grew a little later each day, but early beats everybody and is so comfortable.

The iconic view down at the best trout river in America.

And fish like this daily are part of the reason why

One of the best side channels in America

And fat rainbows too

There's a new beaver in town, but the trout still love river-left

The clear winner for four days.  It imitates, or represents, everything.

This little strip had multiple heads coming up every morning.

Girthy

At 4,000 cfs, the river's version of bonefish flats.  

No brown trout crises here.

This was a nice looking spent partridge caddis before the teeth got a hold of it.

From out here, you have the flats on your left, and the point on your right.  Both accessible with rising fish.
