| This buck ate a small copper bugger |
Fished late this afternoon for a quick fish planning on only fishing for trout. Water levels were at about 2,200 cfs when we got on the water and then dropped to about 1,700 cfs late in the afternoon. Water temps were still just below 40 deg/f. Didn’t take any samples but did see a smattering of midge on the waters surface. Trout fishing was a bit slower but still not bad considering the water movement. Fished a couple runs for steelhead after fishing for trout and caught the fish pictured above on a small copper bugger(body and tail 1.5 inches altogether). Took us around the bend; not giving up easily. Scuds and various other nymphs drumming up the trout. Still hoping for the midge to kick it up a notch and get some sippers on top!
