Another day on the River

After having a little bit to much to drink in celebration of Cinco de Mayo, the alarm startled me awake a little early Sunday morning for another fishing day trip.  By the time we arrived at the river, the sun was already shining high with not a cloud in the sky.  However, we saw a Brown Trout chasing a chub right away so we thought streamer fishing might still be hot. However, this was not the case.

Eventually, the fishing turned on or we started to figure the stream out, but we began pulling them up on Caddis, Hare’s ears, micro Mayflies, and Juju betas nymphs.

After several miles of hiking and countless hours of fishing, pulling up Browns, Rainbows, Cutthroat, Tiger Trout, and quite a few chubs the sun began to tuck below the mountains and it was time to rip some Streamers.  With all the chubs in the water, I thought a white Peanut Envy would do the trick.
