1/24 Report

[Zach Smith]

Hi All,

I'm fairly new to trout fishing (grew up bass fishing in Alabama) and I just recently found this site. Seems to be lots of good stuff here! I've fished the current maybe a dozen times this winter and am now fully addicted. It's such a beautiful river and the fishing is great.

Anyway, just thought I'd share a brief report from Saturday (1/24). Hope it's helpful.

I fished all day from below Baptist to the edge of the park and back. The bite was steady throughout the day, with more browns than usual. I probably landed 15 or so total with a few nice fish late in the day. A #16 gray scud behind a #6 or #8 pat's rubber legs seemed to be the ticket...also hooked a few on a zebra midge. I worked a large streamer through a few of the deeper runs with no success.

My biggest brown of the day was nothing to write home about, but he did get airborne a few times after I first hooked up. I brought him in pretty quickly after that and he swam off looking strong.

Hope you are all enjoying the nice weather and have a chance to get out somewhere.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I don't normally take pictures of the fish and I'm still learning!

Great report and catch. Thanks for posting!

Fished the same day, but did not have as good as results as you. Ended up throwing a wooly bugger for the most of the day and managed two browns on that. Glad you had better luck.

Nice report. I fished down there as well and managed to catch 2 in the 4 lb range and had one that was close to 5. The weekend before the river was getting beat to death. Vehicles were stacked at tan vant and baptist. It was crazy.

Yeah I was there that weekend too and ended up having to go way down to get any water to myself. I won't complain about good weather on a Saturday though.
