It has sat so long without angler pressure. There is not any trash and the fish are plentiful. On one hand I protest private land. Yet, because this land was private, it has remained mostly pure. I advocate access, but must admit I feel conflicted.
On a more important note: I and a few other anglers are fishing this river and logging temps and catches. There are several derelict impoundments that need removal. RI Dept of Environmental Management is slow to progress in dam removal advocacy. Chris Wood from TU was given a tour of this watershead last month. Unfortunately, despite his position on dam removal and not stocking over native populations of brook trout, the local TU and other offspring fly fishing clubs refuse to abandon advocacy for these practices.
The impoundment issue is the biggest threat to this river. Last week, water temp was 58-60. The air temps have warmed and today the temps were 62-64. It is warming quickly and water that sits in pools above impoundments is the cause of this warming.
Anyway, sorry for the disertation.
Here are a few pics of the this special place (for those that know New England, this is not the Wood River).

Boated two large poon this week on the fly (on a Sage reel, after all). The needle and the damage done....I don’t know if I’ll ever get over the rush.

Most excellent.
In case you haven’t heard about the Flybrary Project, crawl out from that rock you’ve been living under and learn about it from this video.

Crawled out from under the rock. Cool idea.

Hell yea!
First wading day of the season. Our short summer has begun. Waters still very high, quite extreme wading. One and a half months of endless day. Going to be good! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...94e301909a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...edd1a163e8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...088975c77d.jpg

That's a damn nice grayling. Is that a salmon?
Trout, we get also salmons, but river is 500km and they just started rising.Quote:

Nice SFB! Those things can fight!
Hey birdfucker, how’s it going? Someone asked me how long it took to land that permit. I said 10-15 minutes. During the editing of my super sick and badass YouTube video, I discovered that the entire clip, from just after hookup to landing to photo session to release, is 5 minutes and 31 seconds. Gimme an email and I’d be happy to send it to you for critique and judgement.Quote:

Proper fish handling technique, gently hold them while snapping a pic, then release them unharmed back into the water...

Best one yet.
You might as well quit. There are huge flyfisherpersons that spend a lifetime just trying to catch a permit the size of a dinner plate.

Appreciate the YT channel underroos, kids really enjoy it too. Ordered our Flybrary starter kit
Grayling on the Big Hole is now on the brain thanks to our nordic friends here.
Solid work MK!
Had a mini summit with some bait slingers from Vermont. It was a tad breezy, but fun things happened.

Hoping to get up there in August. Leaving for Whistler today and won't be back for about a month. It's definitely on the to-do list though.
