May 17 - so it was rainy and cold again today, but I braved it! caught 2 small rainbows, nothing big. I think the weather scared all the big ones away. my gear got soaked, but hey, at least I was fishing, right? just love this place.
May 14 - went out today and it was overcast, around 5 degrees. it felt colder than it was. I fished for a good while but only got a couple of bites. switched to a gray scud pattern, and finally hooked a decent 2-lb trout! better than nothing!
May 12 - ughhh, kinda did not have the best day π« it rained a bit, and the wind was brutal. only caught 1 fish, a tiny trout, but it was nice to be out there anyway. just my luck, hope itβs better next time. gear: 5wt rod, nothing fancy.
May 9 - today was pretty chill, partly cloudy but not too bad. tried my luck with a nymph setup and scored a decent-sized brown trout, maybe 3 lbs! current was friendly today, made it easier to find the sweet spots. felt nice on the water. didnβt want to leave!
