But in my opinion I found it to be very different .....

Saturday morning I caught two small rainbows in the riffles below the River of Life Spring. The fishing was slow that day. While I hooked several more fish, I eventually lost them.

Sunday morning I caught a small rainbow that I swear was a ''cutbow.'' Fishing later that morning, I caught a stout 15'' brown in same riffle. (Note: when I was holding the brown in the water it spit out a sculpin!!!)

Around three or so I floated from Kelly Ford to the River of life. "Right of the bat" I caught a NICE 17'' brown that took a run 40-50 foot downstream. He fought like a salmon.

From there down I caught a rainbow in every riffle [10-13''] . Most of the trout were caught on a rubber leg stonefly, although one bow was caught on a size 12 olive scud. While fishing the last riffle before the Falls, I looked down and saw 26'' brown at my feet!!!!!! (well at least 23''). It was dark and I lost sight of him pretty quick.

Monday morning I caught 2 - 15'' browns in riffle below the ROLF spring. Downstream I caught a small bow with a stonefly. Then around 9:30am, I landed a 13'' bow on a Olive Murry's Strymph tied on a black salmon hook! That bow had beautiful colors!

During the weekend I had one Brown below the ROLF Spring make a run so fast my reel was spinning backwards!!!! I had another nice one between Kelly Ford and the ROLF that broke my line. All weekend the best fly was the Rubberleg Stone Fly.

The weekend was mostly filled with bows consisting of 10-14''. The trip was great and it was the best fishing adventure I've ever experienced!!!!

Thank you ROLF.
