Glenmore Trail - Policeman's Flats
A slow start for the day at least in getting one to the net. The most interesting fish
was when I was sitting on a high bank rigging up after losing a couple of flies to the
river bottom and hand tossed the new rig over the bank and bent over to untangle
the loop at the tip. I lifted the rod up when I felt a snag on the grass but it was stuck
so I leaned over further to free the hook and a big 'ol brown trout was attached to
the end of my line. In the race to untangle the loop and free the line to run, I watched
the trout speed away and break the line and win. A close second won a memory I'll
keep and a hat tip to the brown for making me smile. I had a few instances of action
yet only one caught until then and sadly, that was my last #18 copper john, having
lost another battle earlier with a rainbow. I switched out for a "red-headed" prince's
nymph and brought in eight or nine nice ones after that. The best fish was a fat 23"
brown found in a pool near the bank as were most of them that were caught. I
worked out a system with young (8) Noah where when I hooked one I would take
up any slack line on to the reel and pass him the fish while I made for the shoreline
for the landing and we both had a ton of fun! Great day! Small amounts of mayflies
seen and some huge blankets of midges. Clear, summer low water and we had the
river nearly to ourselves.
