Detailed Report
I fished some Trout Production water on National Park land for the second time in my never ending search for wild trout. Water looked great, not much has changed from my first visit with some friends a few months back, with the exception of a couple of fallen tree's. I intended to hike to the end of the park boundaries downstream and work my way back towards where I parked (30-40 minute hike following the stream). As I neared my destination I saw a dog walker with their dog in the stream . I said all is fair I'll work my way further downstream and stick to my plan. As I rounded the corner to the park boundary I saw fly line and immediately knew this trip would be for exercise and sight seeing. :lol:
The I told the older guy I'm going to go the opposite way he was heading and of course he was heading upstream. After an hour past and I caught up to him, he said he couldn't even spook a fish let alone catch one.
I started off trying to nymph but the water was generally too low to do it, so I switched to dries with the same results. All in all the trip gave me good exercise from the hike, and good casting practice for tight situations.
