First Trip Of 2015....streamer Browns

[Troutnut69]

Was able to get out this past weekend with a buddy and float one of our local rivers for a couple days before the weather turned for the worse. We had a mixed bag of results , with the first day being pretty much casting practice and beer drinking. The second day water conditions changed for the better and gave us a short window of opportunity to "make some hay" as they say.

We got in a couple of fruitful hours and managed to boat half a dozen , several of which were respectable fish. I'm hoping that the year will bring better days and bigger fish... but it wasn't a bad way to start off the new year!

Full TR with a few pics on the blog....Jeff

Thanks guys...and yes Lancer , a couple of those flies that I took a shot of on the floor of my tying room came from the streamer swap this year. I still havn't tried any of them just yet but the season is just getting started!

Nice fish. I love seeing winter browns, but mostly on the end of my line. Looked like a great second day. Congrats.

It was crazy how nasty that water coming out of spring creek was, glad you had a good trip, water never got that brown above Spring creek, Wise and I fished the upper end the next day and nearly froze and never had a sniff, but that's streamer fishing for you! Saw you and Sean float by the lodge and hoped the brown wouldn't ruin the day.

Very nice blog report. Thank you.

I wondered if that wasn't you up on the deck of the lodge when we floated by that day Justin. Sean said it looked like a young kid so we didn't think it was. We didn't tear them up by any means but that small window of rising ,off-color but not dirty water provided us enough action to make it a successful trip.
