Daniel and I had a great October weekend fishing in the park.
Saturday was a little rough with very few strikes, a couple hook ups and only one fish each. We were fishing Middle Prong from post 5 up to the turn about. Going was tough. We usually do pretty good in that section of river but not as well Saturday. There were a LOT of fishermen out on Saturday.
Although catching was a bit slim, the fishing was outstanding. It was such a nice day to be out on the water enjoying the company of my son. Perfect weather perfect water and who realy cared if we caught any fish.
Day 2, Sunday we went up high to catch some brookies. Fishing was just as perfect on day 2 as it was on day 1 and catching was also just a little bit better. We both caught a couple brookies and a 'bow. We had a lot of strikes and plenty of hook ups.
My GPS said we started fishig at 3974' elevation. The water temp at 8:30am was 42 and the brookies were very interested in a #14 BHPT. I was using an orange stimulator with a #14 prince as a dropper and Daniel was using the bhpt. I switched after he had several very robust strikes and I was still trying to figure out if there were fish in the stream.
All in all, we had a perfect weekend fishing.
Given my work schedule, it's going to have to hold us until next Spring and we had enough fun that it just might be enough.
