finally a sunny day! went out early and the fish were biting like crazy. hooked into 6 fish, biggest was a 20-inch rainbow! used a flashy spinner, they couldn't resist. felt great to be out with the sun on my back. can’t wait for the next trip!

fished the west fork again and it was surprisingly calm today! caught 5 fish total, mostly rainbows and a couple brookies. used a mix of dry flies and streamers, they were really active! had a blast, perfect way to spend the day.

today was pretty rough, rain and wind made it tough to cast. only managed to catch a small 10-inch trout. but I love the challenge! brought my favorite spinning rod, nothing like it on a rainy day. hoping for better weather next time.

ugh, what a day! it rained hard while we were out there, bonnie and i got soaked. but hey, I caught one decent brookie around 12 inches! used a sinking line. didn’t care much for the rain but was good to get out anyway. keeping a positive vibe!

another overcast day but it worked in my favor! landed 3 browns, biggest was about 18 inches. used a black woolly bugger, they were hitting like crazy! river’s a little high but still worth it! man, I love this place.
