First Day Of Summer!!!
Today marks the first day of Summer!!! We have had good cool flows due to our high water spring in the mountains, which results in better fishing for this time of year. All that’s required at the moment is a big splat on the water underneath the “RODO”. Having a few 70 degree days during June has been very good for are trout friends as terrestrial season cranks up. Inchworms and Beetles is such a fun way to fish this time of year. The eats are hard and surprising which makes it for an exciting time. We have had are busiest week yet at HEFF, and are humbled by all the support we have gotten. Thanks to everyone who has joined, and plans on joining us in the coming months. Now, summer fishing can be tough when it comes to finding cool water, but luckily we have a few tricks up our sleeves to find willing fish. It’s very important we go early and leave early when fishing the wild streams. We stop targeting large fish in these months so we can capitalize on the fall fishing. Hot days are coming which will crank up another world of fishing known as the Smallmouth Bass. Now, let me tell you its addicting, hard, hot, exhausting, and so much fun. Everyone that knows me, knows how much I enjoy watching a Big Wild Brown 8 foot deep eat a small bug, but when small jaws eats that popper its bone chilling! These fish pull hard, jump high, bury bottom, and make forearms sore. I blame my buddy Ken for this addiction. He yelled at me enough early on to really enjoy this type of fishing. It’s not easy, and requires hitting the “spot” and continuing to to make good long casts all day to reap the rewards. All in all just like trout fishing with clients, the angler has to want it. If you want it bad enough in this game you will be rewarded by the ultimate freshwater fish. We have added another boat to our fleet and are looking forward to getting it out on the water with are clients for bass and trout. We appreciate y’all keeping us busy, and hope everyone is staying safe out there during the 2020 madness.
