Big Running Water

Adam and I had a wonderful day out on the river to end January. The wind hit us hard but we were able to muddle through and at least get it to our backs for most of the day. The warmth of the sun helped keep the wind chill to a minimum and we spent the day drifting various nymph rigs to the resident rainbow trout. We had a few micro brews with lunch and moved to various spots on the river throughout the day. It was exactly the type of relaxing winter fly fishing we both needed.

I started the day with this rainbow as Adam was just walking down from rigging up
