First fishing trip of the season!

Well, ski season is over, for me that is! Whitefish Mountain is still open one more week, but I doubt I ski again. I recognize two seasons, ski season and fishing season! Fishing season has begun.
Went to the middle fork of the Flathead River both Thursday and Friday of last week.  Good trips both days. Caught several cutties the Thursday and mostly Whitefish on Friday.  The river is high, 4ft roughly. That is big flows but even at high flows rivers are fishable. You got to find deep holes and fish deep. I have started using tippet rings as well this year.  It makes it far easier for me to replace flies that I lost, no reading glasses required!!! If you have not tried tippet rings you should. They are simple 2mm wide rings that you tie onto the end of your leader. You than pre-tie up the nymphs you think you will use. I tie them with a 4 inch leader and a 12 inch leader. Each of those has a loop to loop knot at the other end. You simply loop the leader through the tippet ring and you fish. Snagged up a normal amount of times, when you nymph fish, you are either snagging up and losing nymphs or you are not catching fish.
Overall, great first few trips. Could be a good year of fishing!!
