When it rains, it pours PART II

the rains returned and this time for real. the creek jumped up 22 CFS to 50 this morning and she's off color like a good little creek should be after a rain. thick clouds through the valley should stick around all day. got a trip on station 4, one that Caleb can attest has at least one pig in it. got me a good guy to fish with and his three sons - ages 12, 12 and 11. here we go. report to follow.

UPDATE: the worm bite was on today, all day. boys, young and old, as well as wives who had never touched fly rods caught fish on pink and red ones. pictures taken, clients happy, guide tipped. to the bar.

Weather

afternoon and/or evening thunderstorms have been the norm on the ranch over the past couple weeks. we're still waiting for the big dump, but the quick change in air temp, cloud cover and general varying conditions provides some interesting fishing opportunities after work.

tonight's approaching weather struck me as one that would provide an evening bite on the big river, the Rio Grande. threatening thunder and sporadic lightning bolts sent me back and forth from the car to the river for a while but once the storm cooled down the fishing heated up.

rain upstream had cause the Rio to rise and color up today so i threw some big meat below and indicator and the rainbows and browns were accepting of the offering.

here here for the summer!
