I fished from 3-6 roughly on Kish in one of my favorite stretches and caught and missed a ton of fish. Started off nymphing one of my favorite riffles and caught nothing. Switched to a streamer and first cast hooked up with a nice chunky 16" leftover bow (not pictured.) I then found fish in all sorts of water as I worked upstream and every other fish was a wild brown. I caught a ton but lost the two best fish. The most surprising part is that I didn't pull a fish out of some of the nicest water in this stretch. I caught wild browns on nymphs, streamers, and dries. It was a perfect day on the water.
Today (10/25) I fished from about 12-1:30 and only landed one stockie bow. I was downstream in Recreation Park area which has some nice water and plenty of wild browns but not as many as other places. Either way I met a nice guy that seemed to be an enthusiastic fisherman and also a flyfisherman but today he was briefly using some spinning gear while in town..the water temp on 10/24 was 56° and the fish were very agressive. The water is pretty low but I pulled fish out of some pretty skinny water. No signs of redds or spawning fish yet. We could definitely use some rain.
