Winoosky River

Stretched a doctor’s appt and yanked this one quick :)

Got out salmon fishing at 6:30 this morning. I had 1 salmon follow my streamer to my feet, but nothing else. Caught this later on. Probably not getting out salmon fishing until next week.

Got out salmon fishing last night and this morning, 5-7pm and 6-7:30 am. There are a bunch of fish in the river. Last night, me and some other guys were fishing, nobody caught anything, but the fish were there. There was only a small window of time around sunset where a bunch of fish started moving around, possibly eating emergers, but before that, I didn't see any fish in the river. This morning was a bit different. I spooked a fish when I fist got there and had a follow around 7. Again, the fish were most active around sunrise. I was actually able to get a bite for the first time, but I missed the strip set. After thst I caught 2 smallies and had another salmon follow my streamer. Compared to only getting one take on a dry fly in the past year and a half, this is a success. I think I might have to start setting my alarm to 5:30 instead of 8:00 for the next month

Got out on the river yesterday. Brought the fly rod as well as the spinning rod. Tried for some smallies at first, throwing a 5 inch glide bait. I saw at least one nice fish swipe and miss it. Then tried for salmon above the riffles, but only caught a few little smallmouth. The water is stupid low right now, so hopefully we get some rain soon to bring fish into the river

Black flies have been insane this spring! Put in dayss, up and down this system to track this fish down. Look at that chunk missing from her tail. BROWN TOWN BABY!
