hit the river again on May 21, still raining! only got one decent bite all day and I missed it - so frustrating. winds were howlin too. was using my go-to woolly bugger, but nothing seemed to work today. maybe better luck next time, can't give up yet!

went out on May 20, patchy rain but it didnβt stop us! caught a few small ones on a black and silver spinner. the weather was tricky, with the wind picking up now and then, but we found a few sheltered spots. ended up reeling in 4 trout. not a bad way to spend a rainy day
heavy rain on May 16 made me rethink my plans but we went anyway. surprisingly, the fish were biting! got soaked but landed several small rainbows. they were hungry for worms! struggled with the wind tho, it was a tough day but worth it. good practice casting in the rain lol
May 11 was kinda meh, fished all day and only got a couple bites. the clouds hung low and the water was colder than expected, still, I managed one decent cutthroat. lost a big one at the edge tho, ugh! used a bead head olive bugger, might need to change tactics next time.
fished on May 10, overcast skies but the fishing was on fire! landed 3 nice browns, biggest was about 20 inches. tried a new nymph setup and they were all over it. talked to other anglers who said it was slow for them, guess I found the honey hole! weather was chill but tolerable.
