report 6-12

i went down yesterday and man was it great. river was up a little and gin clear. there was a huge trico hatch and a small caddis hatch that i got to fish in the morning... caught a 19" thick rainbow on a #22 trico spinner that is right now my largest ever on a dry. every rainbow i caught was over 12" with one measuring 19 and one measuring 18. the browns i caught were small except for one in the 14" range. i saw some monster browns but they saw me first so i was done before i started in that regard. i waded from tan vat to baptist, and fished about every inch of that and just hammered the rainbows and baby browns. if you like fishing dries, from what i gathered fishing and talking yesterday, tricos in 22-28 are gonna be coming off until the end of summer and the caddis are small, an 18 elk hair did it for me. i'll try to post some pics but i'm on a public computer and they kinda frown on that kind of stuff sometimes.

must...go...fishing. I fished the trico hatch last year, and it was one of the best trips ive ever had, even if I was using too thin of line for the big boys. Cant wait to fish it again.
