archery bank

It gets scary when the thunderstorms roll into the canyon. There can be two foot rollers with white caps. The kayakers just hunker down and wait it out or they get rescued by the ferry service. The paddle boarders are even more at risk, they don't seem to have rain gear and suffer hypothermia with the rain and wind.

I fished the Ferry May 23 and 24. Very disappointing. This has got to be the worst fishing in thirty years. The only fish I caught were with streamers in the tail outs. I saw no fish in the shallow riffles. I tried dry droppers and nymphing, zero fish this way. I spoke to three other parties and they had the same experience. Game and Fish interviewed me at the dock. I told them I caught six fish on Saturday. He said I did better than all the other respondents. Sad.

I would like the dies and the unfired brass.

The K4 has an improved lumbar pad and it has helped the pack from sliding down on your rear end

location?

Where are you located?

cartridge?

I truly believe that is "guide speak".

Water temps were cooler than last year, I wore waders in the morning this trip. I heard no cicadas nor did I see any.

200 on Saturday

Just got back from Lees Ferry, I fished 6/29 and 6/30. There must have been a die off. Usually you can see numerous fish down deep and there weren't any. I'm guessing 60-70% loss.I fly fished mostly and caught all of my fish down deep nymphing. Zero fish were caught in the shallows with dry dropper. Zero fish caught on dry flies.In normal years there are trout sipping on midges at four mile in the back eddy in the evening. This time there was nothing. I fished the Ferry on Memorial Day weekend and had the same results. I didn't want to post anything until I had two trips to confirm my observations. Saturday was terrible with the kayak numbers, probably 200 boats on the river. I spoke to a pontoon captain, he said marble canyon guide service won't guide on the weekends because it's too congested. Sunday was better, my brother and I were the only fly fishers on the water. We caught fish but not the usual numbers. All fish were healthy.

I posted on FB anonymously because I have a higher regard for CWT members than FB. I try to keep my love of hunting on the down low due to my work. I only share pictures with my friends and family. Obviously someone in my sphere shared it to ATO. I will be more careful in the future. I hope ATO learned a lesson and will refrain from this behavior in the future.
