Dream Stream Browns

I am still catching resident Browns on the dream stream. Best flies are San Juan worms and small red or black midges down deep. The Browns are healthy and look like foot balls. This morning I caught several 20 plus inch Browns and numerous smaller rainbows.  The Browns are  truly beautiful and certainly remind me of the the yellowish/orange colors of the Aspen in the surrounding mountains.

It seems to be too warm for the big surge up from 11 mile which is a good thing because without many of the big fish up, people are somewhat staying away. It is so mild that Tricos are still hatching in significant numbers bringing the fish to a rise (at least the smaller fish). The hatches, the mild weather, less pressure is all good as it allows the resident fish some time to put on some weight for winter with out being harassed.

Habitat improvement work is still being done in the middle of the river.
