We had a great float and were one of the first boats off from Policeman's.

Initially we tried some white streamers and were unsuccessful but switched up to an orange bodied streamer with rubber legs.

With just two in the boat we landed 10, at least 5 other solid hookups and countless bumps and soft takes. Most were taken within feet from the bank.

Grassy banks appeared to be more productive than rocky banks but those areas were hard to come by as much of the bank has been disturbed with rock or mud falls.

We got out and nymphed some promising water but did not hook a single fish with a nymph.

There were no rising fish and I have never seen so little bug activity on the river in a 6 hour period in July. There was no hatch whatsoever.

Other than one brown, all fish caught were rainbows and all of average size (17-18 inches).

There are very few obstacles in the water and the float was trouble free.

Thanks to your team in adapting to some crazy parking and access challenges.

Attached are a few pictures.
