hit the chama today even tho it was overcast, didn’t stop us! caught a couple of smaller trout but had a blast overall. fished with my spinning reel and did some bank fishing, saw some good spots. just nice to get out and breathe that fresh air. might try fly fishing next time!

sunny day on the chama with barely any wind, perfect for fishing! I ended up catching 3 nice trout, all around 14 inches. used some powerbait again and they were all over it! had a great time just chilling by the water, the vibe was so nice. planning to head back asap!

back to the river today but man was it chilly! couldn’t believe how much it rained lately. got a couple nibbles but no luck. fished with my spinner and some nightcrawlers but nothing serious. still nice to be outside and try my luck, maybe next time will be better!

ahhh finally a bright sunny day! fished the chama with my buddy, water was warm and we had a blast! caught a few nice bass, biggest was about 4 lbs. using crankbaits, they were hitting like crazy! couldn’t stop smiling all afternoon. ended the day with a sunset that was just beautiful.

man today was something else, rain was pouring down! I thought about canceling but decided to brave it. I caught a nice 18 inch brown trout, which made the wet socks worth it lol. using a yellow jig, got a couple bites before the storm hit but that one was a fighter! felt good to land it.
