Roaring River Low And Clear

[timsfly]

Tim (Backcountry Outfitters) came down with his wife and young daughter on sunday, everybody was catching fish

but I think Tim's daughter outfished a lot of the guys around her, she landed 4 that she hooked and landed by herself

and she landed a total of 8 in about and hour and half, she is going to make a great fisher, she has the eye of a seasoned

angler. Or maybe it was stink eye, not sure about that one, she was using a san juan worm, and a 6'9" 4wt 5pc Winston

Fly rod, perfect rod for the beginning fly fisher.

Water is still falling, and the dry fly fishing has been great.

I have been catching trout on caddis, blue wing olives, adams,

griffiths gnats and cracklebacks for the past few weeks.

The water is very clear and the flow has slowed up some, so

the sight fishing is getting very good, I've been catching maybe 5 or

6 trout a weekend over 3lbs and a few over 8 in the past few weeks.

There are a lot of nice 5-8lb fish left in the water, a few have been

killed, but most are doing pretty good, tons of smaller trout in the

water, I have been catching anywhere from 30 to 50 trout a day on

a mixture of drys, glo-balls, streamers and san juan worms.

Good nymphs right now are pheasant tails, hares ears, copper johns

brassies, thread jigs, small egg patterns, zebra midges and sow bugs

have all been working.

The water is clear, so the use of 7X or 6X is recommended.

On the spinning rods glo-balls, singe hook roostertails(dk colors)

marabou jigs and small single hook spoons(with feathers) are doing well.

When spin fishing right now, you should use 2 or 3 lb fishing line.

Stay away from fluorescent lines, these will spook the trout right now.

Fishing has been great come out and enjoy.

Thanks Tim for the great day Sunday. Alyssa had an awesome time at the river.

Good pics, she out fished you and that is all that really matters.

I'm sure she will be running the shop for you very quickly.

Will she be teaching seminars in the near future????

Very cool that she digs fly fishing.

She ties pretty good for someone that just started 10 days ago too... I helped her with a SJW and off she went... 'bout broke daddy's bank taking fly tying stuff... LOL...

I told her it was her store also and she should just take what she wants when she wants it, someone needs to demo the merchandise.

And she needs to be tying every chace she gets, she's a natural.

my dad and I both fished monday and sunday, we did real well.

Tim suggested to my dad that he try a san jaun worm and a copper

john dropper, we did this and dad caught his second big fish of the

season, it was a nice fat 22" rainbow, man was he happy.

We caught 23 fish on sunday and only landed 16 on monday, but

it was a good two days of fishing.
