Lower D Is Fishing Good

As of mid-week last week the Lower D had heated up. One of our guides had a five species day including two Steelhead landed (several others "got away"), four Bull Trout (up to 6-plus pounds!), many sturdy Redbands, and the obligatory Whitefish and Butterbellies. It is a egg scene down there now. The spey casters aren't doing nearly as well as indicator nymphing. Anything with an egg: sucking leeches, hothead Stones, egg patterns. They all work. Get it down in the slower water and you'll hook something! Only six weeks left...
