Baptist Report

[wackaloo13]

Fished baptist up yesterday am and down in the afternoon. Threw big streamers for the majority of the day with no real hookups. Had about a dozen chases from decent fish. Switched to a indicator rig around 330. Landed 1 on a San Jaun. Had a brown try to eat my indicator. I'm not sure why I don't tie a hook to it.... Went back to the streamer and had a nice brown swing and miss the fly.

All the high water has changed up some of the holes. I'm not sure if it is for the better or not.

Water was still pretty warm. Hopefully as we get into fall fishing picks up. I'm looking forward to having the entire stream to myself once the river gets crappy.... To many floaters. On another note, I saw a woman crash her canoe. It was hysterical. I was a gentleman, I checked to see if she was ok and waited for her to get around the bend before I cracked up.

Welcome to the dog days of summer.

October cannot come soon enough. Best trout fishing of the year, and most of the folks are gone.

I knew it was going to be slow but I had to scratch the itch. Nothing cures the ills of 50+ hour weeks like the current river. I am looking forward to October. Although, I am really looking forward to nov- dec. Got to love the days when you don't see a single soul all day.

I agree with you on that. Nothing like being out on the river when there is snow on the ground and the icicles are hanging off the bluffs, when you can still sometimes have the whole baptist stretch to yourself for a day or two. Those days don't happen that often, but when they do come they're worth it.
