2 Days on the Tully

Sunday and Monday I found myself back in trout mode. Sunday I had the pleasure of fishing with Rob and Evan Thrash, Rob had been teaching his son Evan to cast in the front yard, thinking he was ready to get out on the water, he got Evan a float trip for his birthday. What a present! The water was a great level,  a little off color, and the temps were in the high 50s, perfect day. The fishing was pretty steady, mostly all nymphing. Worms, Midges, Pheasant Tails, and Sugar Daddy's were the ticket.

Around 2pm on Sunday, I met with a repeat client from the Steelhead Camp Joey and I ran last fall, Carl Bear and his fishing buddy Jim. We fished till dark, it was the same program as the day before, all nymphing. Midges seemed to be the ticket with the pheasant tail not far behind.

Good News - Tully Report

Well the hot weather is all but gone, and the chilly nights are here. Joey, Leland, and I hit the Tully a couple days ago, when we looked at the water temps and the high was 66. The fishing wasn't amazing but we caught fish none the less, Caddis were flying and fish were eating them. If they weren't rising they were readily taking nymphs under the surface. CDC Caddis and Zebra midges were the ticket, small pheasant tails and lightening bugs (red), were also working well.

Enjoy:
