I'll bet Furkid wasn't to happy with you. Did you score any chubs on your outing?  Chucking that big stuff probably keeps you from hooking any of them.  The last time we went we picked up a few later in the day after the water warmed up a bit.  RE: waters - fishskibum - 07-06-2021 no chubs seen or spotted. ill be back though i like the chill vibe there Everyone should have a home waters, for a long time the green was my home waters and my summer vocation for a 1/2 dozen. Priorities and circumstances change, been dealing with my pops health and aging issues, and i dont day trip to drive 7 to fish 8 or 10. so ive been still watering and poopfishin local. was hoping to git my dad out but hes not strong enough or ready for all day on the river my wifes a saint and has been taking care of him while he stays with us and let me git outta town weds a friend had reserved a river camp thurs but couldnt make it rolled into dutch john weds eve, was hopin for a good spot on the gorge, but the blm has never enforced the 14 day limit there, So they all leave their 5th wheels in the prime spots all season. bagged it and headed down to browns park and camped riverside at taylors flat, which was empty rained a bit that night but awoke to a nice pink hued sunrise and anticipation of a good to be home waters float Bailed on bucking camp and loading the boat to camp on the river and drove up to little hole on the water at 8 got a bow to eat the stripped junk right off the bat swapped out and put the bmc up front and got em to eat the dry continued to trade out and score a few more per mile Ran into a old friend camped at pugmire dened me to hear of his furkid taking the rainbow bridge trip all good dogs take that trip eventually as it always does the sound of red creek rapid is heard fore ya turn the corner and see it and as mr. holmstrom diaries are named "every rapid tells a story" if ya dont listen up bad stuffs can happen red creeek at minimasl flows is tough ya can still run left and the overall consequences are usually safer but your gonna hit stuff rights not as hard to run clean but the dragons tooth at the bottom is a boat eating day wrecker if ya dont avoid em choose left lined er up and made the drop but blew a crux stroke high sided rodeoed backwards into the rock that i need to be behind with a force that im surprised the anchor mount survived. It did put the hog where it needed to be to row the rest clean though it fished well below with non of the weeks afternoon showers being enough water to bring red creek into play with a few bwo but primarily caddis and sally on the water heard the cicadia buzz for a 100 yards in the rapid and got a few swipes and nose bumps using it that morning. my and the bmc's old man eyes need a bit of help so the pink triple double did the trick fished well till the winds cranked up, thankfully downstream, and it rained pretty good the last mile. Pushed out  and ran a shuttle lap and some supplies back to dutch john. thought about riggin the 2 hander or soft hackling the evening caddis hatch A cocktail or 2 dinner and a dog walk and horizontal on a paco pad ,sawing logs and dreaming about the fast water hog eat i blew that afternoon RE: waters - fishskibum - 07-06-2021 more orange in fridays sunrise had dropped the shuttle the night before, made the joe, fed and walked the fur child, let em chase a few bunnies check for risers managed to be moving downstream by 7 junk stuck a few woke whitey and stung a few up top got down with a few browns deer crossing stopped to check on the carp lakes their home waters are dwindling fast, goofy newf got there and i bet they werent to happy to share waters Waters  Cadillacs & Deserts RE: waters - fishskibum - 07-13-2021 Coerced conned or convinced the crew to feed the wanderlust and road trip to visit a hood i used to fish a bit on guides day offs puts on the all day music turned up the stereo to 11 crossed a bridge busted out some bumpy moab miles on a cool canyon backroad hour or so and under 20 shake n bake miles 1st spot got dewatered but still some slimer snouts rising much better at zelphs a dozen or so various crafts on the bout 100 acre lake mostly old dudes in tubes/toons a pram another drifty and a couple motored aluminums ramps still got a bit of concrete but its a soft mud bent sticks o plenty and fish on whoops a plenty and we stuck a few nice bows and a decent tigger fished till 7 went for a git cell reception cruise some grub and fished the last couple hours of daylight the carps diem dude stuck a big bow and we called it a night night turned to dawn again bit windy that morn and i donated way more flies to flooded timber than i like but stuck a few more healthy bows and a nice brown before headin home pretty good algae bloom going on RE: waters - fishskibum - 07-14-2021 Split around 9 Cool drive comin down from diamond to vernal and while i didnt have time to stop it makes me to see crowds and parades of independence again stopped to stretch the legs and let the god do his business Was hopin to spot some carps cruising the shoreline but by noon some peoples kids had already frothed the shoreline to turbidity beats me why mr escalante just didnt buy a biggers trucks or boats to deal with the terrain of limited passability more boats but way less wakes at the berry Got the pops back to living quasi independently back in pc Suped jordanelle and let sheldon git his newf on with his new chessie pup girlfriend hazel our friends acquired made plans to fish sunday Got him out and Captaining his own craft as he wished even though it'd been way easier if he just took the front of my boat threw in at chaplain point aka cheap peep beach cause there aint no poop closets, pay tubes nor concretes good dozen crafts on the water by the 8 not a lot of catching going on but a banner morning to git out and the float and be happy on pops exercised a couple head shaking slot cuts dog and i threw a big junk skunk probably shouda changed techniques or down sized im either lazy or stubborn bit of both wind cranked up as it usually does bout noon got his and my craft loaded up and headed home one of the better skunks in that finding reward in others doing of the thing things becoming the olds aint easy sunday had him back in the hospital with an intestinial infection Scpoe didnt git it so the opened him up and hopefully got it sussed out and stitched up last night ups n downs hauls loads and sends
