Went fishing with a couple co-workers yesterday from Vernon down to Seely. The wind wasn't very cooperative and the precip wasn't any better. We ended up with frequent winds, a little rain, some snow, hail, touch of sleet and just a hint of sun that had a few fish rising to hit bugs on the surface for a couple brief periods. The fishing was pretty slow for that section I'm told, but it wasn't a bust! My one buddy that floats it frequently throughout the year landed 6 trout. A few browns and a couple rainbows. All were around 16" and fat except for a brown around 18" or so with a hooked jaw. I managed to land a 16"+ white fish early on, right after hooking into what looked to be a brown of large size. I'm thinking 18" but I was outvoted and they say 20"+. Who am I to argue[
]. Just before taking out I landed a nice fat rainbow that was over 16" and lost another. The third person in the group got some hits on dries but they would mostly just roll on them and not actually take them. The best producing bug was a stonefly but we also produced ok on san juan worms (1) and copper johns (3). Overall, not bad. I was just stoked to break my skunked streak for the year!
