You know those days that just don’t turn out the way you hoped? You think the timing, weather, hatch and location is perfect, but for some reason or another it just isn’t. We’ll this past trip we experienced just that. I had been to this river for the past two years on the second week of October and the fishing had been unbelievable to say the least. So with that in mind, I was pretty excitedto take a couple of my buddies (Hoss and Carter) and a newbie (Bre) to the sport. As I walked up to the river I could see the little river was low and full of moss. There were little fish rising everywhere on the tiny midges (too small to match) that were coming off. It looked like we would be going small and only on the top without a dropper. The fishing was sub-par with a few coming after our dries and most spooking before the first pass. By the time the sun was ready to set everyone had caught a few little guys, but really by then the catching took second stage and time spent fishing with friends in a beautiful high mtn river was really the catch of the day. 

Still managed to have a three species day…
