2/28 Last chance at a Feb Trout.

With temps in the low 30's and the possibility of a few parking spots being opened up from the Feb. snow storms I went over to my south hills stream for a few hours before the US-Canada Gold Medal Game.

Within 15 minutes I was rewarded in one of my favoite spots. This pretty 'bow took a prince nymph

Turned to my go-to the Hero Sculpin pattern and was once again rewarded nicely.

Went upstream to another spot I knew would be holding hungry fish. Had to park about a mile up stream and walk down because the parking areas were still full of frozen snow and ice. Along my walk I came across a neat looking hatch. Not being the bug expert I should be I snapped some pics. Midges perhaps?

Enough with the bugs. Slow stripped the heavy streamer in a deep pool produced 4 nice fish in about an hour. Two of the bigger ones I've gotten from there this winter. One was 16".

Headed home just in time to catch the full US-Canada game... Congrats Sid, Marc- Andre, and Brooks.
