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.

Well time to revive this blog.  It will be focused on my fishing adventures.

Fished the swift river at the end of January.   Caught one fish on a curved Bhpt on the pickup at the end of a drift.  The fish was caught and released in the riffle section near the pipe. Not bad on a cold winter day.
