THE LATEST NEWS and advice on fly fishing, fly fishing gear, fly fishing trips, and fly fishing books and media.Crescent H, Day Two
Yesterday we floated the Snake River from Wilson to South Park, a distance of around 13 miles from north to south. The weather forecast called for snow, but the morning ended up being gray with only light spinkles and there were a fair amount of bugs -- BWOs, mahogany duns, assorted and sundry other small bugs. We had excellent fishing -- though mostly small fish with a couple of sixteen-inchers in the mix -- before lunch, when the weather cleared just before changing. The afternoon was cold and blustery and the fishing slowed considerably. That gave me an excuse to switch to a big hairy streamer, and I can now report that yes, you can cast large amounts of rabbit fur and lead with the new Sage Z-Axis 4-weight (even if your arm will not thank you for it).

You didn't invite me? Bastard.
And I'm pretty sure you're posting these reports simply to taunt me.
The good news is that I live on a river where a 16" fish is a real possibility (like it was last night).
Enjoy!

Tom, I wouldn't dare taunt you unless you stopped saying nice things about MidCurrent on your excellent blog.
