I'll be honest, I thought today was going to suck. The weather forcast didn't look so good. Sunny, warm temps, shit. Additionally, things had been slow. Lots of new water, but few fish to show for it. So Scoot, armed with cheap stogies, and I went to the Warwick.
By the time we arrived, the weather was not conforming to the prognostications of the experts. There was a layer of clouds, and it was a bit cool. We started above the park, and found a fisherman in the first money run. After heading a bit further down, it was on. Rainbow trout. Agressive? Most definitely. Stupid? Perhaps. Fun to catch? You bet! We couldn't lose. Nearly every run we hit produced bows. Nymphs, streamers, it all worked. The hot spring day did not materialize, but a small storm did. We smoked cigars under a light rain as the fishing slowed down.
We went back to the car and drove over to the waterfall. Scooter caught a decent fish on level 3, while I landed a small guy on level 2. The main floor was not very productive. It didn't matter. The weather and fishing forcasters had been proven wrong, and I didn't even have to use my AK. Today was a good day.
