Made the run to Proud Lake again early today. A beautiful, calm morning on the water, though the fish were warier. I suppose they were pounded hard over the weekend. Visible fish either ignored flies or swam away from them. The only action came when I drifted wets or streamers very close to the bank, beneath overhanging alder branches. Broke off one fish after about five seconds on the line, and had three or four other strikes.
Saw many dead fish lying on the bottom of the river. I wonder how many will make it to opening day?
I will lay off the place for a while. But I will need to go at least one more time once the weather warms and the fish will take dries.
