After our successful lake trip we had a day left to fish. The obvious choice, because of our location, was the Thompson river. A section of the river opens every May but usually by the time I can get up there it has blown out. This year the river was actually on the drop when May 1st hit and I had the weekend off. We headed there not knowing what to expect since I don’t know anyone who had fished it yet. The river was a bit higher than I’m used to when I fish it in mid-summer and it the fish were spread out and hard to find. When we did find them in the afternoon we had fair action for a couple of hours on golden stonefly nymphs. The fish and birds were feeding heavily on the surface pretty far out into the flow. Probably on small caddisflies. We targeted the fish tha were in the back eddies. Here’s a few shots.
Sweet! just sitting here itching to fish.
