Did a spot of steep streamin' yesterday. Heavily weighted Micro-Buggers with ample shot fished deep and slow raised the sluggish Gemmies from the 42 degree depths. Although flows were currently pretty good, this area suffered a pretty severe drought this Summer that just recently broke. Fish were still in every likely spot, seems like they handled it pretty well, though this stream had ample pool habitat to help support low flow life. The adult fish caught appeared to be post spawn. I'll let the pictures tell the rest...Didn't think I'd be able to get out much more this year, so this was a bit of a bonus.

You'd need a cell signal for the gps work. :p
 
Looks like a great time.
 
Best part..... Reese's peanut butter pumpkin. Those thing win!! Scenery wasn't bad either.

Come fishing with me in the spring. You'll need to work on a "2 hand fish holding pose" for that trip though. Lol. Bring Reese's Easter eggs and you got a seat in my boat.
 
Yeah the pumpkins/trees/eggs are really the primo stuff. Better PB to chocolate ratio than the standard cups. The BIG CUPS go the other way...too much PB and not enough chocolate.

I'll see if I can score some eggs next Spring.
 
Looks like a good time
 
Who needs anchovies when you can just add a fresh gemmie to your pizza? lol

Nice pics Swattie. That's more water than I've seen in awhile.
 
Nice pics, looks like a fantastic mountain stream.
 
It's a good thing you took pizza because Reese cups do not go well with fresh trout.

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing.
 
Definitely post-spawn brookies. Maybe it's time I get out again.
 
MGD during/after pepperoni bread, before Reese's.

I actually usually try to get a few prespawn and put some fresh Gemmie roe on my streamside pizza.
