Fishing Report 7/7/2019
How's Fishing?
Fishing has been great! We did receive an additional 2 inches of rainfall on July 5, 2019. The stream remains stained, but full of beautiful trout. An abundance of lunkers have been caught this week in various zones on a variety of lures. I did not make it to the stream as much as I like this week, but we had good luck on Nymphs, Cracklebacks, and Zebra Midges. (If anyone needs a fishing caddy...I can tie on flies, carry gear, and tell you your trout is the biggest I have ever seen!) Just kidding my trout are the biggest I have ever seen! Ha! Ha! See you on the stream!
