It seemed impossible that we could pass over so many fish and not catch one. I could scratched my head in dismay. The river was full of trout, all kinds. I know because I hate casting with split shot. For me there is an answer.
Trout are a special challenge anywhere.
At the North Fork they are far more so. Getting one at the North Fork is like getting five at other rivers. Now perhaps I should admit that I like to fish my way which is walking the river, finding the likely spots and generally speaking doing things my way. I'm not really much for boats unless they are needed to get from one place to the other, and I generally listen when someone tells me how. This time I took four very large trout, one a fine 22 inch brown.
