Midgin' with Tom

 This morning I guided Tom Scott. Tom fished with me several days earlier this summer and had a great trip landing several huge rainbows over twenty inches. This morning the boat ride was super cold, 47 degrees! We started off chucking streamers looking for a pig, but couldn’t seem to get one in our hands. We turned several nice fish and even had a few good eats, but we just couldn’t seal the deal. Once the sun was high, we decided to switch over to nymphing and started thumping them on midges and soft hackles. Tom ended up landing probably 55 or 60 fish today. The weather was nice, we enjoyed a solid lunch in the shade, learned a few new things and had some great conversation. Life just doesn’t get much better!
