The river is low… lower than I’ve ever seen it at this time of year. It could be that the snows have not started melting just yet, or it could be the record dry winter. I’m afraid it is the latter.
Low, cold, clear water. Somehow that combination never works for me. Not just that, but I don’t know this river like I used to. I don’t have much of a Plan B.
I made it out for about 2 hours yesterday and I felt exactly one fish. I hooked that fish and landed that fish.
It was not big, but it was pretty and it certainly was a trout. I’ll take it.
