I left home around 7 AM in
order to get a couple hours of fishing in on the Henry’s Fork before I did my
presentation at Henry’s Fork Day. When I
arrived the weather was calm and warm and I walked about a mile into the
Harriman Ranch before spotting two quality risers. With limited time I knew I had to get one of
them to keep my “streak” of a nice big rainbow everyday this week. Sure enough, I fed the first one my Pale Morning
Dun. The massive fish ate the roughed up
imitation and I set but nothing. I
missed him. That made the other riser extremely
important. I regrouped and after about
ten minutes of working him with my PMD I hooked and landed the gorgeous 18”
trout. I met my goal for the week!
It’s been a fantastic week on
the Last Chance and Ranch section of the Henry’s Fork. A lot of huge rainbows on tiny dry flies –
not sure life could be any better.
Tomorrow it’s off to Baja to
fish with my pals Sam Vigneri and Grant Hartman for roosterfish. I’ll do my best to keep the blog
rocking. As always, if I fall behind
I’ll catch up.
When I get home next Sunday
its right back to the Henry's Fork for my fishing Marathon
– the longest fishing day of the year.
In case you’re not sure what I’m talking about, check out the previous
years:
Stay tuned. . . .
