Nobody knows the Merced River tail race area below the Merced Falls DAMN I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT! I figure you trout-ists tend to safeguard your glory holes, but this is "Wyoming in my back yard" (my brother's phrase). If you get fed up up in Briceburg, drive to Snelling, then find the A-1 bait shop and ask for help.

Catch and release!

No photos today.
But this is a post from my brother a couple days ago on FB:
Fished below Merced Falls today. Did one drift, about a mile. I just wanted to see how the fishing is. I hooked 10 and boated and released 7 rainbows, fly fishing a nymph set-up. Saw lots of tiny grasshoppers, @ 1/4".
That should get going soon about the first week of June. Looks to be right on track.

Just got news from the IGFA (International Game Fish Association) that this chinook salmon I caught and released while fly fishing at the Smith River in Northern California has been awarded the new world record! (all-tackle length)

The all-tackle length record is for catch and release, and the record is based only on length, not weight, so the fish does not have to be weighed.
The fish must be measured and photographed properly on an official "IGFA measuring device" and the fish must be released alive, along with a bunch of other rules and documentation.
This record category has become more and more accepted by IGFA anglers and is a new direction for the IGFA (conservation), as trophy fish are not killed in the weigh-in process, as is the case for most really big fish in line-class and tippet-class records.

Great job, Bob! It takes not only angling prowess, but also preparedness, to set IGFA records. And of course some good luck...

Thanks Rattlesnake. I got lucky with that one. It was my first king salmon on the fly.

Outdoor travel outfit called Vildmark offers self-guided river rafting trips
along the Klarälven during the summer months. This is a very hands-on trip,
and the 5-8 day journey begins with the construction of your raft. Under
the guidance of an Vildmark instructor you will lash together a raft from
readily available timber, complete with free standing tent. After a brief
overview of the river’s course you’ll be sent out to explore. You can also
rent mountain bikes, fishing supplies, and a canoe to bring along with you.
The raft drifts along at about normal walking speed, so there is plenty of
time for fishing, swimming, and conversing as you enjoy the scenic
riverside. At night you can put ashore to camp or anchor in one of the many
protected coves. After a few days, the ebbs and flow of life on the river
will become a steady rhythm. At the end the rafts are broken down and
you’re obliged to put your shoes back on and return to civilization. A sad
day to be sure.
