A few days ago my client Bob the McMaster was dedicated to skating drys...and it worked out for him.  He rose 5 fish to drys, which is not supposed to happen in 40 degree water in November...FIVE, seriously, that is ridiculous.  I hope I have a day like that sometime.  He also swung up and farmed a huge fish on a black leech, just for good measure.  A few days earlier, Chris Strohmeyer also rose one to a dry, and his buddy Tim lost a huge bright fish.  Chris and Tim are really making breakthroughs in their spey casting, so I am going to be careful about where I take them...at least they have real jobs and dont have the opportunity to beat on the same water for a week straight, like some near sighted individuals. 

 

We need some rain, and Mammoth & Tahoe need some snow...which will decrease pressure significantly when the ropeheads migrate back to the mountains to make some turns and stop beating on swing water with bobbers.  Currently, indicater fishing is absolutely magnificent from Steel Bridge to Dutton Creek.  I hear small indicators with a uniform 4x drop and size 16-20 nymphs are catching plenty of fish up there.

 

I am off to Oregon for 5 days to fish the Rogue with John Hazelton...looking forward to smoking up a turkey and skating some Oregonian fish up.  I am only taking a few more bookings in December before I head back to PA and NZ.  Happy turkey day everyone!
