lower down it's spruce and pine (flushed a mama spruce grouse and chick), further up it transitions to cedar, and they lean in over the water to provide some nice shade
cutts were a bit bigger, too
itch was scratched and the patch job held so, for at least a few hours, all was right with the world. High water put the new fly testing on hold; foam was the name of the game
a pair of Carnage variations
Kolzer Firefly; the dark moose body hair wing stood out very well in all the foam, helped me pick out a few strikes I might have missed in the suds
