Small streams fished better than large streams with water ranging from mildly stained to fairly clear. Larger tribs chocolate milk. Fished landed all morning drift fishing eggs and egg fly patterns, and a few on bright colored yarn. All fish very fresh with a fishing partner landing a 12.5 lb male early. Many fish running upstream and on the move. Some of the smaller streams that I expected to have the same activity did not. Found just a few and a few that hammered jigs. One fish fought so hard and so long my forearm cramped up. She was a large silver female pushing past the 30 inch mark that finally broke me off under a cut bank around some wood. Really could not control her at all. Good number of fish landed today despite tough conditions at all streams except for one. Streams should fish great tomorrow and possibly the weekend depending on rain. Here are just a few pics of fish we pulled the camera out for today. Back on the streams on Friday.
