Big Wood River Fishing Report

sunny sunshine! fished the big wood river today, what a blast. landed 8 fish, mostly brookies and a couple browns too. used a flexible rod and some nice woolly buggers. the temp was just right, felt awesome to be out there. ended the day with a couple beers by the riverbank. can't ask for more!

had another rain day on the big wood, ugh. but surprisingly, the fish were biting! I caught 3 rainbows, all around 14 inches. used a bright colored s-circle spinner, they just couldn’t resist it. just love that rush when they hit! a lil’ muddy from the rain but worth it. bring on the sunshine tomorrow!

partly cloudy today, got out early. not too much action at first, but finally hooked into a 15 inch brown! threw a dry fly, a caddis. pretty cool to watch it rise to the surface! the wind picked up a little, but nothing too bad. feelin' good about the day overall.

went fishing on the big wood during a spot of rain, ugh, was kinda annoying but managed to hook into a nice 20 inch rainbow! used a beadhead nymph and it did the trick. wind was pretty crazy too, felt like I was fighting the elements more than the fish. but hey, a great catch made it all worth it!

wow it was a wet one out there today, rain was coming down pretty hard at times. only caught 1 small brook trout, but it was a fun challenge. fished with a spinner, nothing fancy, just trying to make the best of the weather. kept my rain jacket on, that helped a bit. feel like I coulda done better if it wasn’t so soggy.
