Fishing last week was hot. We caught a lot of trout many in the 20's. This week is much slower. Numbers are down for fish, however we are still catching them. Water temps is down to 39 degrees this morning. I'm sure the lower temperature has been making the fish more lethargic. The water has been slightly off color as well. Catch's have been happening later in the day from normal hours. It's when the water temperature goes up a couple of degrees that we have been more successful. Egg patterns soft hackles have been working. The March browns are starting to come off and they have been the biggest producer of fish. Here are a few pictures of trout today.

Early morning bite is rubber leg jiggy buggers (crawfish-big nymph) pattern on dead drift then on strip when sun hits the water. Size 22 midge emergers as a trailer fly has been the ticket during the last several days.

Fishing has been on fire. Caught several in the 20's. The hit fly has been one that I tied up many year's ago. I didn't know what to call it, so I called it KB softhackle. It's my version of a March Brown softhackle and it's on fire. Very easy...

It's my version of a March Brown softhackle and it's on fire. Very easy to fish. Cast it about 45 to 55 degrees down stream and let it swing into the fish. Takes will be hard and fast but you have to set the hook before they spit it out.

Midges continue to dominate as the majority hatch species during the recent cold weather. Sizes 20-24 zebra midge. Colors also working are; red, brown and purple. Our proprietary rubber legs jiggy bugger size 8-12 has been killer between hatches.

    Unfortunately Captain Chris was unable to guide my trip, but he provided Levi to guide us on our fly fishing adventure. The river was very crowded with family spring breakers but our guide put us on some very strong large trout. Turned out to be one of my best days in quite a while. My largest trout was 20 inches.

    Trip: Half Day Wade and Drift Boat Combo!

  • ★★★★★
    We had such an amazing time fly fishing! Our guide was truly incredible—so fun, insanely helpful, and full of great tips that made us feel like fishing pros (even if we totally weren’t!). He knew all the best spots, kept the vibes fun and easygoing, and made sure we were always learning without even realizing it. We caught some awesome fish, took the coolest pics, and laughed the entire time. If you’re looking for the perfect, fun-filled day on the water—this is it!

    This was my second trip with Chris and this time I brought a friend. We had a great 1/2 day with Zach and Austin. Great trip for beginners.

    Had a great half day on the river with Chris. We went right to the fish and a very productive session. I was concerned about severe weather in the area but Chris kept me informed in the days before and everything turned out fine. This is a great trip for people who want to try fly fishing ... I will definitely be going back.

    Best fishing lesson I ever had. Kit was so personable I didn't realize he was educating me while we enjoyed time on the water. Good guide, better guy. Highly recommend

    Trip: Lower Mountain Fork River

  • ★★★★★
    Chris and Kit were both amazing. When the first fishing spot was loaded with anglers, he took us to his secret location off the beaten path. It was secluded and jumping with fish. It was my first time fly fishing, but after he taught us the cast, we were reeling in trout in no time. I'd book him again if I was fishing in the area.
