Date:  2/20/2017
Flow:  87 CFS
Water Temp:  44 F
I met Patrick and Jill at 9 AM at the Nature Center, since they had all equipment we completed the paper work and headed for the 100 yard run.  Conditions were cool with little wind and lately the fishing has been very slow with extremely cold water and high winds.  It was basically the same Saturday except the water temperature was 44 degrees.  Patrick almost immediately hooked up a nice 16 inch bow pic and congrats followed.  BUG?  Size 18 annelid worked most of the morning.  Jill a newbie was learning how to tension cast and caught on immediately!  She had no hookups in the morning so we retired to the Coyote Grill for some delicious burgers and Rubens.  Right after lunch I put her in the High Note Hole and about the 5th cast landed and gorgeous 20 inch bow.  She said that was the largest fish she has ever caught!  She continued to get strikes and finally a nice 16 inch bow came to net.  BUG?  Size 18 BH Olive Hares Ear. 
The weather is finally taking a turn for the better and we are booking trips almost every day.  Winter storage is over in less than a month and the rainbow spawn is close at hand.  So book a trip now and let’s go play with the big boys!
Tight lines,
Lou
