Fishing report 12/26/15

I appreciate all the info shared on here, so I thought I would give a fishing report a shot. The thought was the rain would keep people away today and it did although there were a couple other guys out for a bit. Not that I mind fishing around people but just something really peaceful about having the water to yourself! 

I started at outlet 1 around 10:30 I fished a dark red maroon colored San Juan worm with my go to scud  (a light brown one) underneath about a foot and a half below it! My first four fish came on the worm!  Strangely enough my next four all came on the scud! I caught a few more on both and then around noon the skies opened up which didn't bother me with my new Frog Togs jacket but it was starting to lightening a little and the water started to really muddy up!  Perfect time to take a break.

After a 20 minute break I started fishing Outlet 2. Caught some beautiful dark dark rainbows mostly on the scud, I think just one  on the worm. A little more lightning sent me back to the truck for a while just to be safe. 

Went back to outlet 1, the water had cleared caught a few more and then made one last trip to outlet 2, glad I did hooked a really beautiful brown that had big spots!  It made a long long run and put up a good fight!! I tried to attach the pic!!  I have caught a lot of browns but had not seen one quite like that. That's why I love fly fishing each trout has different colors and you just never know what they will look like!

I would guess I caught 20-25 fish all beautiful dark colors in about 4 hours of fishing!!  Most fish were in the 14-18 inch range.  All fish released unharmed.  I tried to attach a few pics! Hope everyone has a great new year!! Be safe out there!
