A beatiful day out on beat 2 river 4 today resulted in some splendid fishing for this family with around a dozen or more hookups and a few other missed takes on dries with fish ranging from 1 pound to 4 and a half pounds in general. 2 browns were in the 4 to 4 and a half pound range and a few nice rainbows around 2 to 3 pounds landed as well as one 4 pounder lost. A few smaller fish and a couple of dinks as well were also landed. The fishing was good with 1 landed on dry fly and 4 other hits on dry, 2 to sighted fish, 1 to the indicator, and 1 blind hitting the cicada but getting tangled in the line for a couple of minutes before getting off. All in all a great day with a good variety of both rainbows and browns of all sizes, caught by both blind nymphing, dry fly, and dry-fly nymph combo. Not as many cicadas in this area as in some others at the moment, but plenty of good browns in the riffles and rainbows in the gorgey pools.
