Swift river Feb 9th

Was at the swift today. Got up there around 1:30 and fished until around 4. Landed one fish, missed a bunch more. I must have been napping a bit today. The fly of the day was a black stone in a 16.  Tried a soft hackle I had tied with no love.  The lower section of the river was not passable with the prius so I had to fish the c&r section.  There are a few fish still around up on this section mostly where you'd expect them.  The day ended while I was fishing 2 different size stones and the leader broke while setting the hook on a nice size fish.  I hate leaving on that note but it was getting late.
