Street and Stream and Steam Report

Well, we have Hwy 41 still subject to construction delays. Be very prepared. Late into the night huge trucks are hauling asphalt through Oakhurst towards the road between the South entrance and Glacier Pt. and beyond. Also note the warm weather. This spell will abate. It makes for wonderful days in the mountains where it's cooler and as dusk sets in we have been observing a huge variety of insects. Everything from tiny mayflies to the classic October caddis are making a showing in abundance. Sloppy and skittery drifts with various caddis patterns are provoking takes. The more water you cover, the better. Keep moving!

Early morning and the lines begin...

 

 Bernard's hand-eye coordination had a little to be desired here. Despite the great fall colors and the cliffs int he background, what he really wanted was Bambi. See the ears in the lower part of the photo?

 

What do guides do when off duty? They scout new spots. Gordy nails a chrome beauty at dusk.

 

Temperatures, well-above cold.
