The kayak traffic was a little less than normal for some reason but still busy.

Just fished Lees Ferry June 30 and July 1. The water was extremely murky probably due to the run off. I could only see about six feet down. The flow was high around 18-20K. I fly fished mostly. Very lttle dry fly activity, I only caught three on dries on the back eddy at four mile. No cicadas were seen nor heard. The usual areas to wade were under five to six feet of water. I nymphed using an orange SJ worm and a green scud. I caught most on my fish on a weighted green wolly bugger using a full sinking line getting the hits on the swing. I also caght a few fish on dry/dropper, big dry with 2 feet of 5x holding a SJ worm in the few riffles that were available. Not one fish rose to the dry. The weather was nice with little wind but it got hot in the afternoon. I wore waders in the AM then after lunch I was down to long pants and sandals. My boat ran well and my new prop remained unscathed. Most of the guides had their clients fishing off the boat. I only saw three guide boats out on Saturday

Did the pack not fit you? I have the longer frame if you want to trade for it

Where's your location?

Fiamme pizza in Tucson. NY style wood fired. Very good

Just curious, what new pack are you looking at?

The carp fishing is fun. We used leftovers for bait.

Sent you a PM. I'm interested.

Another thumbs up for Inreach. Worked from Mexico during deer hunt.

Anyone ever replaced the hip belt on an Outdoorsman pack with another premium brand?

Heat, thanks for the reply. My main pack is an Exo 3500. I will look into the Kifaru hip belt and see if I can make it work.

Hunt both areas, you have lots of time.

I fish there quite a bit. I have fished this river for the last 25 yrs and spent the last two weekends up there. Last year there was a fish kill and I estimate 2/3 of the population was lost. The good news is that the remaining fish are healthy and strong. The average size fish is around 15" with the upper end around 19". The summer time temps can be brutal in July but the crowds are lower. I have not fished the winter there in about 15 yrs. It can be very cold. May/June then Sept/Oct are good times to camp on the river. With regards to the crowds the weekends are always busy. There are on average 3 to 5 guide boats on the river during the summer on Sat-Sun.

KT tape. I sprained my ankle on last years elk hunt and this stuff saved me.
