Back to the river tonight. Its finally settled down from all the rain and is at a nice fishable level. Tonight I used the 6wt Orvis Rocky Mountain rod loaded with a new spool of Scientific Anglers full sinking WF 6 S that I just picked up at KTP. I have been using a sinking tip 7wt and after reading from "Modern Streamers for Trophy Trout" decided to go with a full sinker. I purchas
ed a couple of Zoo Cougars at KTP as well. Also mentioned in the book. Its a must read for any serious streamer fisherman. I intended to fish some of the deep pools this river has to offer but got to the river and left the Cougars at home along with most of my streamers. I did have, from my last trip here, a tattered Black Ghost and sure enough, within 15 minutes connected with this nice rainbow. What a beautiful fish this one was. I moved around, fished a Muddler and a Dark Edison with no other fish.
