Make sure to bring thermals. :shock:
My sister lives over in Quichee and says that there is still pretty good snow down there. :(
They aint too far east of where I figure you may be fishing. Its a lot of fun. :D
Fished it as a kid before it became a "Mecca" and over emphasized by the media. :(
Still,it is a wonderfull place to be. 8)
If you get the chance , dont pass up other very good places to fish in that area.
Too much time and water under the bridge so I dont remember most of the names. :?
Cheers
The fishing was great, now the catching was another story. Felt great to get out there and not think about anything but my next cast. The water was high but super clear. The temperature was between 36 and 38 degrees F. A bit cold and fast but I was in the water. I swung streamers for just over a half mile of river and didn't even see a flash. There was the occational midge that would fly by and I saw one caddis flutter from a bush scraped against. I can't wait until the hendricksons start hatching. I'll keep you posted.
