I was in Maine for a reunion, and had Sat. morning free. Caught 29 schoolies:

Maybe the most stoke/post of any thread on TGR! Goddam I dig the maggot fish in stoke!

Hit up a little lake I'd never been to this past weekend. Lots of these little guys, brighter colors than I've ever seen (pics don't do 'em justice). Pickier than the usual high lake trout, that's for sure.

Got home and had a package waiting for me. UV light and resin. First attempt at a UV fly for sea runs. Couple of stray threads at my attempt at making gills but I think the dog'll hunt

did some 4 wheeling to a beautiful, somewhat remote, high elevation lake today. never really fished still water before but had a pretty damn good time. all little guys but great color, caught rainbows, bookies and goldens. they were happy to eat streamers too, my kind of fish.

Good work. Those things put a hell of a bend in the rod.
^They call them the poor man's bonefish around here… erm, well that's what I call them. They sure do put up one hell of a fight. Got 30lbers cruising around in the reservoir near me.

Sorry I missed you Dibs! How'd the lake fish?
never put in
38 and snowin or too blustery
not to mention the need 4 another donation to bureaucracy for another boat floating sticker
never saw a fish rise the whole time.
vis pretty poor
not much fishable in the jh hood
talked the mrs. into headin back s and floatin below font again.
i wanted to row the hoback but no one else did
sorry didn't get text till yesterday the mrs. came in a bit hot on takeout and another phone and i went swimmin
hope u enjoyed dads day
how are things looking below fonty? still pretty high and murky?
Dad's day was fun. The Hoback is a blast! Haven't been down that way but it is prolly still chocolate milk. Might have cleared now weather chilly weather tho. Your boat is a bit big for that river in anything but high water. Great river for a 2 man raft.Quote:

dropped er a k to 7k cfs
foamlines at the dam you could float a sofapillow w/ fat albert and a 1/4 oz conehead meat whistle on
wouldn't say murky tea colored and fishable
only got one nice brown fri but a few oh my god follows and eats i couldn't connect on
sat night was a wyo windfuckfest till the sun set
got a couple dinks to eat the plentiful caddis at slate that eve
hit the water at o sun up thirty sun and plenty of fish willing to eat the big junk
scored a nice cutty few browns n a couple sweet bows
bit tough rollin drive by streamer chuckin solo
never bothered droppin anchor so hookup to land and a few quick pics and your damn near mile downstream
picked up the mrs. bout 830 and got a few on the float down to hay farm.
winds cranked up about 10 per ussual
hopefully they drop er another k if not more this weekend
and save some water and run decent flows all summer
seeing as the flows blow dj are coming down you'd think they would
def head up
2hander heaven at those flows
tryin to see if telee wants to head up sometime this week
sounds like I need to head back out there soon. all the water up above worth checking out as well?
If you are referring to the water above font, yes...for the most part. Once the summer heat sets in things get tough below Big Piney. Above that tho is some of my favorite water in the region. From green river lakes down to wyo 351 is damn good. The upper green, below the lake down to warren bridge gets difficult to float in a hard boat by mid-late July most years. On big snow years with the weather cooperating and not getting too hot too early, that water can stay floatable in a hard boat later. Rafts are good til sometime in mid late august usually.Quote:

If you make it up this way, lemme know.
Heading to Dutch John on Friday with a couple of out of town friends, we are going to float. Just not sure which section yet...Quote:

Breath taking and mythical .A superb environmental space for creativity to be explored and nurtured.
Great stuff everyone! keeps me coming back!

^Nice! That wooden drift boat is pretty sweet. Also glad to see that Fiddlehead has started the canning run.
