Hmmmmmmmmm

Myself, pat and scott headed for the land of fish bright and early this morning. i had checked the flows the other day and they were under 100cfs which would've worked out just fine. i tried to check the flows again this morning but the page wouldn't load for me. after the long jaunt we got there and the flows seemed more like about 600cfs. it was still fishable, although iffy, but i think with the jump in flows that recently the fish were not quite settled into what the hell was going on. i think it threw he fishing off, way off. at 11:30 with not a single fish seen or noticed, we packed up and headed back to our morning's meeting spot with the plan of doing some angling in that area. as we pulled in pat and scott decided to call it a short day, probably cause it was raining or cause the river there was high as well. i couldn't give up quite yet so i drove upstream a bit. the river had come down a tad but had colored up a tad as well. i drove up further above the res. to see how it looked coming in. much better, but private property got in the way. from the bridge looking up i had about a 50 yard window until i reached the no trespassing sign. there was one nice hole that i could fish and i managed to pull a good sized brookie out of there. of all trout, a brookie. woulda thunk it? that was the last thing i expected in that brown invested water. i was pleased with the fish and at least i didn't get skunked on the cold and rainy day.
