Guide Trip Report 2/15/09

Andy and Jamie from Brooklyn fished with me on the 15th in the KLG. Goals for the day included included learning to short line nymph without an indicator, as well as learn to read winter lies and see as much of the KLG as possible.

Morning water temps were around 35 degrees, and the fish were sluggish. If I remember correctly, we were two days into a cold snap.(temps had been steadily declining after a warm period)


Both Andrew and Jamie both hooked a fish or two before lunch, but only Andy brought a fish to hand.

Notice I didn't say trout!

After lunch, Jamie continued on with me to finish out a full day guide.
Just like they are supposed to do in the winter, the fish really started getting active as water temps began creeping up throughout the afternoon hours.

Jamie landed several decent fish, including a nice wild fish with a nice bird wound on it's cheek.

Fish came on different combinations of attractor patterns and small naturals, such as PT's, E.B.S, midge and caddis larva and my double trigger EBS.
