Giving Back I

Spent Saturday on the “project stream” slinging fish. For the 3rd year and the 2nd year moving fish throughout the canyon we put fingerling browns in Arbuckle. I’m hopeful that one day the sewage treatment plants will be fixed and this stream can realize its potential. Right now the jury is still out. But it sure looks the part.

Loading up the fish…

Going across a tiny little bridge en route.

Obligatory Princenymph panty shot (see Arbuckle cleanup post).

Packing in.

This nice couple was vacationing from Pennsylvania. They helped stock a few holes. We happened on them in the middle of the stream. Didn’t see them for a while until I noticed something moving and saw the man trying to shield her while she put her shirt back on. I totally missed that opportunity. Crap.

Fished Dunloup for about 2 hours afterwards. These little punks kept taking my flies all afternoon. I finally got fed up with it and put on a big bugger that they couldn’t hit. I moved two browns, but hooked none. The first time I can remember getting skunked in June ever. Not cool
