August 10th Report

[Murdoc]

I got to go down this morning before work. The river is very clear and there are a good number of fish in the river down in the fly area. They have a little size to them also. The upper end was full of people and the campgrounds looked to be full also. The fly area didn't have hardly anyone there. It was strange to walk up and fish about anywhere I wanted. After about an hour they started to come in. Still was a light crowd down below. I could only get them to bite on the Shamie Sanjuan worm. They would look at the small woolie's but wouldn't take them. I still had a great morning fishing!!!

Hey Murdoc! I was down in your local water last thursday. I spent most of the day looking for a giant rainbow that was rumored to be there. I'm not sure that the fish exists. I spent the better part of 4 hours walking the bank and looking in the area that it was supposed to be in. The light conditions were good but no giant fish that I could find. I did fish for a 7 pounder and a 5 pounder with no success. I tried my best flys and they sent me home talking to myself. On wednesday this week I was at bssp and was fortunate enough to land a nice 8.5 rainbow. A beautiful fish that was a great fighter. It went "full body" air born 3 times and put on a good show for the onlookers. It was released unharmed to fight another day. We need to meet up and fish some night at Taney. Good to hear from you again Murdoc.
