Winter Steel with Leaf and the General

Pretty Day on the River

Unseasonably warm temps have been a nightmare for skiers but is sure has given a rare chance to throw flys at many bitty fish all without the hassle of picking the ice from your guides.  My friend Jeff “the General” Lyman and I got a chance to hit  a few holes over the weekend and had quite a few  memorable fish, from Jeff’s two steel in two casts to my keeper  buck in the lower river witch put up quite the fight and with ice shelves was a chore to land.

Another nice catch on the Golden Stone.

Most fish for me have come on my Golden Stone or my red ice cream cone head double Chironomid, Jeff how ever had luck on black Little Prince.

Most fish came on rock walls or deep runs with very soft flow and were very spooky, stealth was a must.
