arkansas river part 2 - kochanut - 05-15-2009
started at Hayden medows above twin. at 845am water temp was 40 even, and clearity was at about 2 feet. once the sun peeked out of the clouds, the water temp sky rocketed and so did the clarity. i have no idea how many fish i landed, but i did hook one monster brown that i got a look at until he spit my fly in my face. was fishing a caddis foamy, with a prince nymph underneath. longest cast i made was about 15 feet. every fish i got was inches from shore hiding in the under cuts. sure was neat seeing the few risers come out of the murkiness and nail that dry. 85% of the fish were caught on the nymph. water warmed up to 54 around 4'ish and the caddis started flying, then it was on like donkey kong.
