LeTort 7/18/20

I have not been out much because of this relentless heat wave. The spring creeks are very much fishable just gets way too hot by 1pm. John and Steve met me at 8am and we were going to fish all day but decided to quit at noon. The LeTort was clear and 53 degrees. Noting was hatching but we did see a few trout sipping terrestrials. John and Steve wanted to see my techniques that get these wary trout to come out of their crafty hiding places. So I showed them my streamer techniques and it was game on. John missed one and moved another. Steve moved one. Midway through the morning John gave me an amazing complement. John said, “Mike, with what you have taught us, I feel I have a chance to take a trout on every good placed cast with streamers!” Thank you John for that. We ended the morning on a few rising trout. Steve hooked into a very nice 17” brown. It immediately shot like a bullet into a log jam and popped Steve off. They both had a great time and learned so much.
