Walter approves. Had a great day on the seismic lake but my phone takes no pics. Did have the pleasure of listening to guideboy explain the finer points of why MT guides hate ID guides and vice versa but im sure a certain someone can give us the real 411.

Aside from a few single cruisers and tailers the majority of the fish were bank orientated and podded up clomping in the shallow flooded cat tails and shore grass.

Sweet photos! Glad it worked out for you. I am hoping to hit the same stretch next week. One of the best stretches of water ANYWHERE
Need some Clear Creek Canyon info: what’s working and what time should I be out there? Looking to sneak out this week.
Question for you more experienced fly fishermen: how long do you stay in one spot of a river before moving upstream? And/or do you stay put, changing flies often in that one spot or move on and keep the same fly on (assuming you are not fishing during a hatch)?
Depends on the water and how I'm fishing. If I'm nymphing a super fishy spot, I will beat it up and probably even cycle through a couple of flies. If I'm streamer fishing or throwing big dries, I like to fish fast cover water. If I'm matching a hatch and fishing to rising fish, I'll fish till I feed 'em or put 'em down.Quote:

He jumped eventually, the water was maybe 4ft deep. You're right, the big ones always stay down.Quote:

Did our annual post Labor Day mini-summit. Smaller crew this year but I FINALLY met SFB’s (much) better half. Had a blast, as always.
