Good evening my friends!

Wow, all kinds of conditions up here today! Woke up to snow as the front moved in overnight, bring us a dusting down here in the valley, with a little bit more at higher elevations. We then moved into the afternoon with sunshine and passing clouds, light wind, and temps in the low 60’s. Flows in Trumbull/Decker’s is at 321, with 314 below the dam at Cheesman. The fish were rather active throughout the day, feeding aggressively both above and below the surface. After some morning errands and doing some photo-editing, I got out on the river at 4:30pm, with my neighbor who lives up the hill. Started out with small, flash-back rubber-legs, follow with zebra midge and trailing a grey, RS-2. I took two fish on this rig, while my buddy zero’ed in on the browns hitting a Chocolate Thunder, but wasn’t sure what the rest of his set-up was. The weather is looking good for the weekend, so look for increased pressure in the Decker’s Resort area, but consider heading downstream towards the confluence ,where’s there’s much more open space to try your luck! A bit of fall excitement taking place tomorrow night at the Decker’s Corner Cafe! http://www.deckerscorner.com Band starts at 7pm!  That’s all for now folks! Hope to see you on the river soon.
