Well I headed up to the Little Truckee with Foxy a few days ago. Tanner could't make it so it was just Foxy and I. Started fishing at about 10:00 AM. Nothing, not even a bite for the fisrt two and a half hours. I tried many different small mayflies and midges, but I could not even get a bite. At about 12:30, out of frustration, I put on a small brown San Juan worm. First cast, fish on! For the next hour and a half the fishing was red hot. I ended up with five fish landed with two lost during the retrieve. Four rainbows and one brown. The biggest being about 21 inches and three pounds. They were all really beautiful wild fish. By 2:00, the bite had stopped and not even another hit for the rest of the day.
Most years I only fish from June to August. This year, I made it a goal to fish at least once a month all year long. So far my goal is still intact. These were the first fish that I have ever caught fly fishing in December. This was the first time that I have fly fished in December.
