hey do any of you guys ever fish the little D? over by La pine? My father inlaw just bought a house over there with 1400ft of frontage on the little D. there is not much info I have found since the larger river of the same namesake gets most of the attention.
I flew into Phoenix friday night left for the Rim (mogollon) sat night. Fished sunday all day. This particular creek is a med sized mid elevation creek and the fish get huge. we saw fish bigger than the one my cousin has there. The fishing was rather slow through out the day due to the warm...
I Catch and release most of the time I keep a brookie once in a while if I am camping and want one for dinner, the searuns are recovering according to what I have read but, there is no need to eat them IMHO go eat brookies they are a char and prefered table fare over searun cutts.
I use the loop if it is there, if is not I nail it. If you use a nail not remember to use a bit of glue so that you do not allo water to leak into your line. Also you can create your own loop if you nail not your leader to your fly line and the clip it 7 or so inches away from the not in you...

any kind of fishing can be hard work and some guys just aint up for it. Working in a flyshop and guiding for the couple of years I did opened my eyes to how to find those guys that are beyond recreational flyfisherman. I have fished with a few guys that were more interested in drinking and...
focus on the roll cast, thats going to catch them fish and not be too difficult to learn. Make sure they get the D loop behind them. they are going to want tp whip the rod back and forth like they are trying to create a froth in the stream. once again focus on the roll cast. take flies you dont...
Oh man thats sucks. I remember the second trip I guided, I had a couple from florida he was a charter boat captain he and his wife were retired school teachers and did some consulting with school districts across the country. I was nervous to say the least this guy took clients on a boat in the...
