The Return



Been away from the river and the fly gear has been packed away since winter.  Life has been busy and time to tie flies, explore new trout water, drink a cold beer in front of a camp fire seemed to be a distant memory.  Its about time I make a change.  Pulled out the old maps and studied the blue lines, checked flow charts and one call to my fishing buddy was all that was needed.  Time to throw some tight loops and dry flies.

Big bug river.  Yellow Sallies on the emergence was the happening.

                           
                               Surprisingly good mountain house flavor.  Will buy again.
