Portneuf at Pebble BridgeI got to go to one of my favorite local creeks this last weekend. Tobee and I went to Birch Creek and fished it a few miles north of Lone Pine. We had a great time throwing small dries to brookies and rainbows. I fished backwards, trying to find a pattern that wouldn't work and after many attempts on only didn't catch fish on a yellow sally. We fished for about 5 hours and landed over 150 fish. Somebody out there tell me if I'm wrong but there were redds all over the upper reaches of the creek. Must have been spawning rainbows, even though I thought all the rainbows in the creek were triploid fish. Good reports from 24 mile and Chesterfield from boats trolling hardware, bank fishermen and float tubers. No motors on 24 Mile. Streamers, chironomids and nymphs fished under indicators have all been producing. I personally can't wait for the opener on the Portneuf. There has been more water this year than last and we should see pretty consistant flows and the water is getting clearer everyday. Toponce and Pebble should even be ready for the opener with the cold temperatures keeping the runoff pretty moderate.
Good Luck,
Coach
