Happy 4th - Alternatives without Fireworks

A Happy 4th of July to All. With the dry conditions through out the west we will have 

to resort to alternative methods of celebrations.

 We will drink libations and ring the bell as we see fit. The more we drink the

more it could ring.

 Dress-up- Ms. Floatfisher dones the fresh new fishing apparel from Simm's,

Check out the new fishing hat and cloak. Will it catch on! Maybe just for the wine drinking crowd.

And we will blow bubbles, tiny bubbles instead of lighting fireworks. Never say never. We alway

have alternatives out there. Happy July 4th from Floatfisher.

Fishing the ditch continues to be very,very good provided you get on the water prior to sun-up and are off by 9:30 to 10 am. Olive and Orange PMX's continue to take your fair share of fish. In addition,

don't forget to give a moderate sized nasty ole foam fly a try for giggles. They will slap it silly too.

For fun, get that boat on the water for a happy hour float, (4:30 pm to 8:30 pm) fish were silly after the caddis along the grassy banks. Also, not a sole out on the water. All the guides are off the water, they can only work 8 hours and the other serious fisherman always put on your standard 7:30 to 4:30. 

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

"Osprey" by ARKive- a must see video

I thought I was a decent fisherman, but these guys create a whole new meaning to term "fishing". The view and Osprey's perspective is truly amazing, as well as the video photography. Check it out as well www.Arkive.org

Dog Days of Early Summer are Here

New fires are starting every other day, temperatures are soaring near the century mark each day and water levels are at levels not seen since 2002 or prior. Yet, if you respect the fish and get our early, I mean early, there is some good fishing to be had. The bug life on all rivers is amazing right now with all checking in and being account for. One should not be nymphing if you can avoid it. We have all winter and spring. Way to fun to see sipping and rising fish.

Even our 4 legged friends need to cool off, in this heat.
