Fishing Time: Evenings of September 14-17, 2017
Weather: Overcast, windy, T-50s
Moon Phase: 8% Moon
Location: Hams Fork River, Wyoming
Best Bait: Blue winged olive (nymphing)
Who Went: Dunc
I had a job in Kemmerer, Wyoming, so I packed the fly rod
and got lost on the Hams Fork River every night after work. It was extremely tough fishing and the most
frustrating part was that the river looked so good! Every bend looked fishy, the flows were
perfect, but the fish didn’t seem to be around.
I talked to locals who tell me it’s been unseasonably warm and they are
all packed in deep holes trying to stay cool.
That may be true because I didn’t see any fish and worked extremely hard
for only a few bites. Either way, the
river was gorgeous, and it was a great way to spend the evenings while away
from my family.
I also found an awesome deer shed on my job site. I gave it to a coworker that was stoked to
take it home and show his boy.
Not many fish were caught for my efforts, but I enjoyed
getting lost in Wyoming where I seemed to be the only fisherman on the river
all week. You can’t find that many
places anymore and I cherished every moment.
