Flow 581
Water Temp 54
What a good day on the water.  I met two beginners at the nature Center and promptly moved to the Osprey Upper parking lot. We moved to the side channel and hooked up on one small bow.  There were fly fishers in every rock pile except the Pump House. We moved down and I had the opportunity to teach the tension cast and how to do a proper mend.  The results speak for them selves.  Jeremy caught on quickly and landed a nice 16 inch bow.  Ryan was next with his first trout on a fly rod ever.  It was all of 5 inches but the expression on his face tells it all.  It was the largest trout of his life!!  The only way he could go is up, and sure enough just before lunch he landed a nice 15 inch bow.  The water is crystal clear and beautiful in this section of the river.  The flows are going to go up beyond safe guiding soon.  Book your trip now, you won’t be sorry!
Tight Lines,
