There were plenty of crickets to be heard, and about a size 10 was pretty effective on the water. But we didn't have to call in the seagulls... just yet.
I think it will probably take me at least another dozen floats before I get sick of the A section. Good to know there's wilder water to be explored when that happens though.
Maybe it's just that I'm impatient, or still new enough to fly fishing, but I still personally prefer action over the size. With most fish this trip 16"-18", that's plenty big for for me, especially when they were so healthy and feisty.
I've got 20+ inchers on the North Fork of the Snake and even a couple on the Logan that felt like dragging in a log, and were about as much fun. I know there are a lot of variables that affect how a fish fights but these are not among my favorite memories. To each his/her own I guess.
