Bear River Report

Fished the Bear River last Friday and had a great time. The day was a bit warmer and I found some fish on the rise right away in some of the slower runs. It was just the medicine I needed during what appears to be never ending winter again. I then turned to the old trusty heavily weighted wooly bugger. I swung it through some of the deep holes with very little success and then found that by pulling them slowly directly upstream I could move the fly slow enough to attract some attention. All said the scenery was fantastic, there was very little snow in the canyon and I picked up about 15 fish in an hour and a half. It was just great to be outside again, hear the river and feel that crisp winter breeze (OK I could live without that). The fish do seem to be smaller than past years and the size did improve the farther that I got from the bridge. Awesome.
