never advocate fishing these waters
before June and July, as they are natural
trout streams. though they have been
plentifully stocked" and are generally
too swollen In the early season to make
good casting. When 20 I pack about
four outfits and between four and FIVE
hundred flies
have found this expedient on sew
eral occasions. for have taken up par
ties who have assured me they. were
perfectly QUILTED and when we got there
have found them rugged out with every
thing from surf casting to bass rods, and
from salmon flies to pickerel spoons.
Thankfully this has not been frequent,
but II Is better to be safe than sorry
In a section another guide and myself
have a lodge where we take parties for
week ends 1t is somewhat out of the
beaten track. SO much SO that the deer
often come down from the mountains
and brown trout and plenty of big ones,
ana good open water for fly casting.
