Few fish around in the lower fly. Actually managed a chromer up there, a rarity. Most of the fish are darker & have been there a while, like that pig.
Have spent the past two days swinging flies- more fun than nymphing. I'm used to combat fishing this place, in the spots I'm swinging I don't see a single person all day. Much more of a rush, too- got completely schooled by a fish today that almost ripped the rod out of my hands before taking a pile of running line then popping me off. Even though it was the only hit of the day, I'll take it over a bunch of fish in the lower fly... I'm STILL shaking thinking about it!
Will be an interesting day tomorrow. Today had a high of about 23... 18 for tomorrow, and lake effect snow coming in that could dump about a foot in short order. Just the way winter steelheading should be!
