Ryan is a nice dude. Love his YouTube videos he frequents my store as well.

What happened to your hand Ryan?

Moon valley.... 16 inch smallie on a half night crawler drifted in the slough above the bridge along a gravel bar. 12 years old

always wanted a copy of this Dave Hughes hatch book and finally found it. It reinforces proper technique and basic imitation over taxanomic identification as a more practical approach to dry fly and nymph angling. It's fun yo know Latin and every species but not necessarily required to catch fish during a hatch.

They are under paid as is ... however, talking is cheap 😂

I would say a regular law enforcement agent could a least handle checking for a license. And there are more bass fisherman now than ever so maybe we should start promoting trout as a tournament fish to gain notoriety and maybe people will listen 😂

What measures would you take to handle the issue then? I believe you're correct about the lack of enforcement but that doesn't mean the rules is moot. Perhaps , we should have cross law enforcement bureau collaboration as a solution? Sheriff deputies that have ranges that intersect with conservation areas could do more random parking lot checks. Real conversation needs had. Especially in light of increasing costs for food more people are turning to the water ways for sustainability which will increase the problems.

I have seen reds and caught three inch rainbows down there multiple times. Probably would be better recruitment if they put stricter regulations

Ryan walker is the man. OSA guides and outfitters. Real down to earth guy. Knows his stuff has a YouTube channel as well

Lots of down trees for sure ollie.

Well I fished ollie fest today and get the stream cred. I was the o n ly human down there lol. Caught a lot of fish. 10 rainbows of varying size and a dozen browns all the smallest little things you've ever seen. Wooly bugger in tan and olive got it done today with a barely legal getting the best fish a 12 in rainbow. Did see two enormous browns one about 22 and one that weighed probably 5 pounds didn't catch either. Man I finally get streamcred and no noses to rub it in lol 😂 mo

Went to Capps today all to myself. Caught tons of fish all vry small. Smallest brown trout I have ever caught. Dozens of them eating midges . Also caught a handful of parr marked rainbows with white fins. Residents I'd say. Those browns were so small . One brown had par marks and white tips as well. No ollie fest?

Well to be frank ... they shut the water off Thursday night and it got really low. Thy nvr ran any water all day. Left around 2pm. Managed about 10 rainbows the whole day. The guys I took caught nothing. Saw only three browns. No water made it tough. Plus there were a million people by like 8 am. Outlet two and below three were the best. Scuds were only thing I could get to work. Had to put it in the moss and twitch a little after it settled. This made for a lot cleaning off moss though. Really would've liked half a unit running. Better luck next time 😂

I'll be down for the annual pilgrimage below the dam. Hopefully some browns are moving . Had a great year for rainbows one time but something bout the browns I just thoroughly enjoy

See any browns moving ?
