High Water in the Locals

For the folks in So Cal looking to get busy.... The water was high and off color today. If you don't mind weighting a nymph, you'll do good. Or if you know how to target soft water and edges, there's good caddis coming off.
I scoped some new water today with good friends and had a chance to break in a new Sage One 3wt with a double on the very first hook up. Did some insane cliff climbing and scrambling, but lived to tell about it. Home now enjoying a Ranger IPA and plotting a return. Oh, and snakes are out....

Wow, the water looks like tea! Did not seem to bother the wild bows much! Great pics.

Got a double on a 3 wt? Awesome! Looks like some interesting water and I can what you mean by cliff climbing and scrambling. But, it seemed to have been well worth the efforts.

Might as well just add to this one. No pics, bc turns out the fishies dont like to pose for big bulky cameras and phone camera is a bit scratched up.
Moving along, had a great day on Sunday, even though my long lost fishing buddy A_G is catching monsters over in Utah. Weather was perfect for wet wading! Saw a few folks, that may or may not have ruined some holes up stream for me, but trust me when I say, there was plenty 10-14" fish to go around. They were hooking up on most nymps, especially Czech nymphing on fast runs. The bigger guys were hanging out at the mouths to bigger pools down stream a ways. Walk a little and you shall receive great rewards. There favorite bug was a caddis nymph I got from an unknown location through the years of visiting fly shops, I had that one on most of the day.
Around 16:00 I threw on a Stimie, emerger pattern and got quite a few. It was awesome watching them arch out of the water in a big still pool. @ 16:30 a small mayfly hatch started. I had a similar spinner mayfly pattern and size, but the fish really did not seem too interested. I
Either way great day to unwind after a long couple weeks on my pediatric rotation. I long for my next day off...

PS Saw a few reds, so watch out for nesting sites.

Next time you are clear, let me know. Heading to Joshua Tree NP this weekend for some camping, but back on the water after that.
