I drove out of the mountains and onto the flats to fish a promising tailwater river south of where I live. The couple of times I have been on it this year there have been few bugs and the trout slow to rise. I managed several mid-sized rainbows in fast, shallow water and a couple of missed fish but nothing really large. Most seasons I feel I have a good chance at raising a biggie if I spend a full afternoon walking, spotting and covering good holding water. No such luck this year. I did locate several large fish from a high bluff. They were deep and showed no interest in my grasshopper pattern. I didn't fish sub-surface. The river had a decent flow. The water clarity and temperature...perfect. The Cottonwood colours...perfect. There was no wind. A good breeze might have been helpful when fishing a grasshopper pattern.
