My last post on Friday was after a tough day on the lower South Fork with Tom Smith. We fished streamers hard all day, with little luck. I took Tom down the Canyon section on Saturday and had a great day. We nymphed the entire day with fantastic results...many Brown, Rainbow and Cutthroat on stonefly nymphs in a variety of water. I guided again down the South Fork Canyon today with Fred Thranhardt and Charlie Howorth, a couple of great guys I take each year. The fishing was phenomenal. From the first cast, to the last, we had tons of action on stonefly nymphs in riffles, flats and many of the faster banks. Although Fred netted the biggest fish of the day, a 21" Brown trout, Charlie won the contest on numbers. He caught an obscene amount of fish, all from the back seat of the driftboat. He was like a Hoover vacuum today! Lots of fun! The river has been holding steady at 10,700 cfs for quite a while now, but I heard late today that it will be going up to at least 16,000 cfs on Thursday. So much for the good fishing in the Canyon. In my opinion, anything over about 14,000 cfs is very hard to fish on this river. Here are a couple of Charlie's fish from today. More soon!
