Left Capps a little after Noon today and head to R.R. to talk to Tim about Crane. Was informed that Crane wouldn't be any good due to volunteers doing a Stream Clean on the lil' creek so I spent the rest of the afternoon at R.R.

Spent the first hour or so scouting for big fish...didn't really have much luck. Kinda got lazy and didn't feel like walking up and down Zone 1 so I just parked my butt in a hole where there was some fish rising and proceeded to have a fun afternoon with some dry fly action...

Killed them on a #20 griffiths knat and then switched to #20 Adams...it was a good time. Hadn't got into some good dry fly action in a while so it was nice refresher you might say. Probably woulda caught more fish if I woulda switched to 7x but, again, I was too lazy and didn't feel like rebuilding my leader. Fish didn't seem to mind too much anyways...

Overall thoughts on the C&R season this year...I only made 2 trips and didn't really spend a whole lot of time on the river. Caught plenty of fish but I did notice that there didn't seem to be as many BIG fish in the river as there was last year. Lots of 2-3lb fish but not as many 5+lb fish as there was last year. Whatever the reasons are...who cares...still a good time on the river this winter!
