Capps And Below Rrsp Report 11\5

[burninworm]

Was able to finagle the day off from the new baby and the three year old. Since I wanted solitude more than anything I hit Capps at dawn. Had a few on, maybe a couple of follows. All the action was in the conservation area, only saw a couple fish in the Mill park. Too bad I can never time my trips with the stocking truck. There's a dead cow about 1\4 mile upstream from the bottom conservation lot 25 yards in on the conservation side. Green tag on it's ear, Maybe been there a while. Not wanting to mess with Crane due to the spawn, I went below RRSP til the sun went down. Low water, so clear. I saw three trout. Man it needs the rain so bad. Does anyone know if they ever stock the RR use area, or is it dependent on escapees from the park? So beautiful down there right now. I guess there's no point in stocking it right now, cause there's nowhere for those fish to hide or go. Caught the prettiest Longear I've ever seen, it was crimson on all of his fins and tail. So I fished all day and caught one sunfish, 10,000,000 creek chubs or minnows, and three bona fide trout takes. Maybe not the best trip catching-wise, but I was smiling all day. All my takes at capps were on a white or green scud, tried to fish it deep. Tried lots of other flies, but the scud was the only thing happening. I'll upload a pic of the sunfish in the morning - I sure am beat.

They do stock below the park at RR. Don't know when, but I do know they do. That cow has been there now for several weeks.
