Back to our winter hot spot.

Finding stillwater WILD trout can be a bit tough in the winter time. While most people are chasing the DFG planter truck. We are still managing to scrounge up a few fish that were not born in a cement tank.

Mike caught the first fish within minutes of putting in. I was still putting my waders on when I heard him yell "In your face Frank". I knew he was going to be on them today and I was going to hear it all day.

With Mike catching the first fish of the day ,within a couple of feet of the bank it told us to fish shallow. Mace brought his fish finder and it read a water temp of only 37 degrees .The fish would take just about any fly as long as it was thrown on an intermediate line.

My first fish of the day, a small but pretty rainbow.

My next fish was a brown.

This one tried to jump in the boat.

Each cast could be a brown or rainbow.

Mace stopped looking at his fishfinder long enough to catch one.

 The storm rolled in around 2:00 and we decided we were cold enough and it was time to head out for some lunch and few cold beers.
