A Dozen January Trout: Jan 18, 1999

By Ken M.
St. Louis, MO

Date: Monday January 18, 1999 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.


River Conditions-- 8 inches high, very slight taint. This river has a very strong current at this water level and is tricky to wade. Thank God for cleated boots.
 

 
 

Weather- temp. @55, fairly windy, mostly sunny
Fish caught-- ten rainbows, 10-16 inches and two browns, one chunky 16 incher and one hefty twenty-two inch beauty.

Flies and methods used- lrg. brown and larger rainbows caught in deeper channels on #8 dark brown crayfish pattern with short 4lb leader, drifted then stripped in swing, using sinking tip line and lead core leader-sink and BB shot on leader.

Smaller brown caught on #12 prince nymph and smaller rainbows caught on either #10 or #14 prince nymphs, floating line, 2lb. tippet or #10 olive and black woolly-bugger(these were drifted then stripped in swing, as with crayfish, less weight).
