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.

Great fish, nice color and markings. So often you see them blochy and gray.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how one fish can make the outing worth while!
