Promise

Explored a new section of river that holds much promise. Once it cools down a little more, I'll bet it is quite productive. Unfortunately, it's supposed to warm up considerably next week though, which is a bummer as the water temp is seemingly flirting with starting to get cool enough for better trout and salmon production.

Still, it was a fun morning. Caught three chubnobyls. Big guys, offering a fun fight only to lead to disappointment once they were close enough to be identified. Still, at least they prevented being skunked.

An eddy produced a nearly perfect round chunk of flotsam. 

Primo territory. 

The fly of choice today, a bird's nest muddler I tied a few nights ago.
