Little Hole

The next morning Nick and I fished the stretch right below Little Hole. This looked like a real promising stretch. We were able to wade out a few feet and cast right were the river became a little deeper. It seemed like this was where the fish would be holding but we weren’t able to catch anything except a couple of small rainbows in the first hole.

We noticed the fishermen on the other side of the river were catching quite a few nice ones. Looking for a place to cross we decided it would be too treacherous. A couple of advantages the other side of the river had to offer were (besides the fact that the grass is always greener on the other side of the river): 1) It did not get fished as much. Lots of people fish the close side along the trail but few crossed the river and fished the other side. 2) There were some inside curves where the fish could hang out in the calm water while the fast water would carry food along which the fish could grab.

We fished here for a couple of hours and didn’t catch any of the nice size browns. Fishing our way back to the parking lot, Nick caught a lot of rainbows in the first hole. One amazintg thing was that on one cast he caught two fish, one on the dropper and one on the point fly. This doesn’t happen very often. Way to go Nick!!!
