Streamer Valhalla

Once again the stream that i really enjoy throwing streamers on gave me the finger. i had planned on hitting another uinta lake but was skeptical due to all the snow but still i should've gone. my roommate wanted to go fishing so i kept it close and a late start time for him, he has a hard time phathoming driving more then a 1/2 hr. for trout. 9am came along and as i should've expected he bailed out on me again. by that time it was to late to be heading to higher elevations so i kept it local. while on the river i met a guy who claimed to be kevin conatser, the guy who won the court case allowing of fisherman to fish private waters. he was slaying ducks today instead of fishing. i ventured into the private section of the web, further then i had before. it is nice to see some of the vegetation finally starting to let go of the bottom. it sure makes streamer fishing tough. it was slow as i said. i took to small cutties on a pig sticker, another small cutt on a marabou streamer, then a little further upstream on that same streamer i hooked, fought and lost a piggy of a brown. i got a good look at him as he jumped 3 times, but of course, as soon as i got my hands on my net the little bastard threw my hook at me. man it's heart breaking when the fishing is slow and you finally hook a really good fish just to lose him. i was able to redeem myself by landinga good brown that was a little smaller then the one i lost but still respectable. even though the fishing was slow, the scenery was really nice with the snow on the mountains.
