April 30, 2012
Flow: 762 and falling
Water Temp: 50

 How high's the water, mama?
Five feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Five feet high and risin'
Well, the rails are washed out north of town
We gotta head for higher ground
We can't come back till the water comes down,
Five feet high and risin'

Fluctuating flows, wind and logs floating downstream this weekend didn’t sway our fortitude to find big fish. Trout would seek cover during the change but were soon back on the feed. Water cleared soon after each change in flow and we observed browns exhibiting predatory behavior on streamers including one of the biggest browns I’ve seen to date here. That one bent my san juan straight so no pic today folks. But I do know where he lives. Trust your local guides to keep you safe, dry and on big trout. We will be watching for opportunities for bass on the ponds and lake from here on out.
Tight lines
