Well, this is about the time in archery season that I stop seeing deer. And I was getting tired of just sitting in a tree stand. So I decided to take a trip up the mountain and chase some brown trout. I think the cool snap the last couple days may have slowed them down a bit, but I had a few that were cooperative. Nothing too big this time, but they are in there. I've tangled with a few in the past.
The hike in.
Picked one up on the second run I fished, then things slowed down for a while before I hooked up on another. Water was clear but running a bit higher than normal. But that's probably a good thing. I just don't think it warmed up quick enough to get them active.
Best fish of the day.
And browns tend to not like the bluebird skies either.
Not a bad place to spend the day.
