Tried my best to lose the crowds in JH yesterday. This stream doesn’t fish that well pre runoff but the solitude is worth less action! I never remember to take pics. Thought of it once yesterday on the walk in.

Lots of birds flying around. I watched this guy come down and grab the fish. Unfortunately I was late with my camera but still grabbed a couple.

Mating pair I assume?

They had company.

I also brought along a couple of fly rods and nymphed buckets.

Thanks we have been getting out for a few hours most nights. How is the water on your end looking? J and I have kicked around coming over and floating some different water one of these days.Quote:

Night temps seem to be creeping up both in the valley and at elevation. Not enough to unlock the flood gates but...
The snake should hold up for a little while as far as the feeshin goes but if the long term forecast holds I’d guess we will start getting some color in about a week. Maybe before. And as u know, the snake ain’t known for good off color water catching.
Buddy of mine owns one of those 1/2ac lots. Sucks to hear that as we figured there would be pretty easy zoning in Dagget. We were talking about how sweet it would be to build a tiny cabin of some sort (frequent trips to the RS Home Depot during the build would get old though). No wonder why those lots are going for next to nothing.Quote:

Great story about the Taylor's flat "subdivision", it was plated to be 1/4 acre lots to be on the shores of the Echo park dam down on the Yampa, it even had (has) air strip. The lots sold for 750$ back in the fifties, the dam was heavily protested by the Sierra club and river runners and was dropped, As the owners died off the lots became available for back taxes, I got my first for around 75 bucks and had 6-8 at one time. Daggett now says you have to have 6 to do anything, Fishing pard has a dozen and has his trailer ( always currently licensed ) and a few out buildings. BP is scenic place in the middle of East Jesus nowhere.Quote:

I figured if you knew your neighbors and they were cool with you and a drift boat got left on your dirt nobody from Daggett county is gonna drive around
or I want to do voli at jarvis
that place is a natural history treasure that id spend time helping on
so kicking fs/blm volunteers off their land for sleeping on it seems unlikely
i haven't talked to lumpy lately nor have i heard anything else about the missing co fisherman
hopin for the best
a few mur from bp

SFB, They found him close to his vehicle,( a couple of miles) unknown cause at this time, Moffat County and Uintah county SARs got it done. Dagget has always been VERY interested in having current tags on vehicles.
Just got the email that my Smith permit will be honored next year due to extended closure. So that’s some good news.

The amount of shit SFB can fit in his boat is impressive. https://images2.imgbox.com/40/25/JSD...?download=true
First squeezing of 2020 in a local creek Wednesday. Reasonable amount of action for this early in the year, highlighted by this 15 incher full of eggs. Spawn will be starting soon.

She came out of this little hole. The only fishable spot in 100+ feet, so I almost didn't bother to wade across the creek to fish it. Glad I did.

Cold and wet yesterday on the ditch. But this guy made it all worthwhile.
