Seven (7) Day Fly Fishing Forecast: high water fishing is good now that things are stable

 

                    Fished the upper White yesterday with 10 units running.  42 fish in the boat with 3 browns and the rest being rainbows.  All caught on san juan worms fished 12ft deep under an indicator with lots of weight.  High Water fishing has begun!  The exciting aspect of this kind of fishing is the fact that one does not know if there is going to be a 12in. rainbow or a twelve lb. brown at the end of your line when you set the hook.  Things happen fast with this kind of flow.
