Bois Brule Opener 2012
Opener was very weird. No snow on the ground, warm water and air temperatures and got my pick of holes to fish even though I showed up at 11am. People seemingly didn't stick around long. After talking to a couple of guys they said fishing was slow. Despite some unusual factors the water was great. The flow was about 160 cfs and just enough color to camouflage your presentation. I managed to land 8 steelhead runnin the two fly rig. 4 on pink globug tied by Jeff at jeffsjigs.com and 4 on my stoneflies as the point fly of 2 fly rig. The fish did run smaller then the usual opening day fishing. Not sure what the potential reasons for smaller fish size but probably coincidental.
