i headed up there today and didnt do any good but one whitefish and a broke rod. we started by the bridge off the highway. we took a right there and headed down to where there was that pond there that runs off the river. we fished there and i waded all the way up and around the corner fishin all those runs and riffles. i had a few hits but nothin solid i was use koffmens, goldenstone beadheads, hairs ears, lightning bugs,2 colors of san juans red and orange, zebra midges 2 colors red and black. and 2 differnt types ones were normal and then i had some that had white tuffs comin over the top and out the front, prince nymphs. i threw purple variations of some and i didn't have anythink. we continued down river to the boat dock then to chester dam and then fun farm bridge. at the chester dam i was tryin on a new fly and dropper when i got distracted by my counsin or uncle or somebody and stepped away from my truck and just then and only then did a gust of wind come up. i hand my rod so that the reel was on seat and the rod was headed out the door in the crack ( the door was open all the way and i was in it and didn't ever intend on walkin away). and that bleepin bleepin bleep bleepity blimpin wind slamed my door shut on my rod. it snapped fairly clean about a foot below the top of the butt section ( i have a 2 peice rod). yeah i was not a happy man.and it was just as i was gonna hit this awsome lookin run right below the chester dam.i was irrate it wasn't funny. so yeah that was at around 3 or 4 so yeah the rest of the day was pretty much shot after that. it still makes me so mad tellin about it that i keep messin up the words that i am tryin to type. so yeah there is my report of how my day went.
