Thread: Lochsa

  1. #1

    Arrow Lochsa

    Still some snow to contend with getting to the river.



    In fact, there were very few places where it felt safe to even try getting to the water. But where I could, it was in great shape.



    The run I chose to fish is really deep and fairly fast. Getting a nymph or two down deep enough was problematic. And futile.



    However, and as much as I hate to admit it, swinging the big nymphs down and across finally hooked up my first Idaho West Slope cutt for 2012.



    There will be more !! And on dries soon enough.

    The fish are always right.

    I agree, excellent pics John! Looks just like Iowa...except for the clear water, rocky stream, mountains, pine trees, cutthroat trouts...

    Thanks John, I did have a very good outing, went up in the moutains, hiked in, caught some very nice brookies on a beatiful stream with water falls, came back down, went to a flat land stream very near by and landed some nice rainbows. Had a couple rainbows dance for me on the water, that was way cool! I was waorn slap out, had a great day and slept like a baby that night.... Please keep your reports coming! oh and if you eat out there I'd like to know what you carry with you..

    Beautiful thread John! The colours on that first fish are great. And some challenging conditions to deal with just to get to cast the fly makes for a very rewarding day on the water. With the changes in the water level occuring right now you have to be on your toes and each trip find the fish anew. Well done.
