I was up last Wednesday, and also went up today.
Last Wednesday landed a couple and hooked a few more. First time fishing for them with a fly rod, what a blast!
Today ended up landing four with a few other hook-ups in 5-6 hours of fishing. Biggest was a beautiful 32 inch wild hen that was in really great shape and gave me all I could handle. There seemed to be a lot more fish in the river today than there was last Wednesday. I saw probably 20-30 fish in a half-mile stretch that I walked, and hooked a number of fish blindly as well. Saw a number of guys catching fish with fly rods on the other side of the river from me as well. Last Wednesday I only saw fish in one spot (though didn't walk as much and didn't put in a lot of time), but everyone I talked to wasn't seeing many/any and I never saw anyone else catch fish. I'm not aware of what is normal or typical in the Stanley area as I generally don't fish up that way, but seemed like a good push of fish had moved in from my perspective.
