What a superb time of year to be at Clearwater.  Fall colors are prime, and area waters are not very crowded...my client CC and I did not see another angler all day today.  We landed about a dozen wild fish on drys on a little backcountry creek I like to fish this time of year.  We had some snow in the morning, which made the beautiful pine forest that surrounds the creek even more beautiful.  CC was in a class that Gino, Mike, and I did last season, and has turned into a fine dry fly angler. 

 

Yesterday on the Fall River my Client Tad had terrific dry fly fishing during a massive hatch of bwo's.  The day before, we absolutely pillaged with an indicator setup with little nymphs as well as sinking line techniques on a local spring fed lake.  I'm more of a "moments" angler than numbers guy, but for the first time in my guide career, I actually counted the hooked fish at 47, and we landed an even 30.  This was in a 4 hour time frame...bobber fishing at its finest.  I guess there is a time and place for everything.
