Trout Tails - June 18, 2015

Been a while since I've put anything up.  It has been a weird spring.  Once the weather finally broke, we have been suffering from low water or muddy water from thunderstorms.  Despite that, the fishing has been pretty good, with some of the best hatches I've seen in a long time.  I have been spending a lot of time on the water fishing and guiding, which is why I haven't had much time to get much up here.  I even had the honor of guiding the President and CEO of Straub Brewing and his family a few weeks ago on Big Pine.  If you never had the pleasure of meeting Bill Brock, he is an avid fly fisher and just a great guy.  Straub is also the main sponsor of the Slate Run Brown Trout Club that stocks some monster browns in Big Pine...the beer is really good too ;)  Be sure to support the local businesses, especially those that give back to us!

Last week my TU Chapter (Doc Fritchey TU) held its annual Home Waters event.  As always, it was a great time, and we had about 20 Vets who caught a pile of fish.  Below are some photos from the last couple months.  I hope to get some more stuff up here soon, and as always, September and Yellowstone are right around the corner!
