Fly Fishing Wild Trout Water
Posted By Kent Klewein on May 30, 2009
Spent the day with Louis Cahill showing him a section of some new wild trout water high up in the mountains. We had a banner day fly fishing for wild rainbow and brown trout. It’s the most fun I’ve had fly fishing in a long time. Just goes to show, you don’t have to catch huge trout to have a blast. Pure bred trout in full colors are becoming so rare these days I’m finding it more rewarding than ever to catch them.
It’s truly hard to beat throwing size 10 dry flies and watching a wild trout gently sucking in your offering. We saw some pretty spectacular rises that day on the water. Every trout we landed had a stomach slam fool of bugs. We joked about them being little footballs.
The big bugs are hatching on higher elevation trout streams, and the frequent rains and great water levels have the bug numbers up. The trout are taking advantage by gorging themselves. If we continue to be blessed with good rains throughout the summer the wild trout are going to grow considerably this season.
I’ll post more photos after my guide trip tomorrow. Great photography Louis!!!
That’s a nice looking little stream there kent. Reminds me of a couple of the little ones we fished back in the day. Still have some pics charlie took of that camping trip up around my house.
the pictures are up around my house… the camping trip was not. I’m obviously not an english major.
