Default Once in a life time .

We fished mid stream of the little smokey about half way between hyw 40 and the Bigstone road one October . It was slow fishing until we hit a log pile up . On the other side of it we were just using spin casting rods with a weight on the end of the line and two flies every 8 inches up from the weight . Kid you not you could count to 5 and you would have two rocky mountain whitefish on. They were so thick down there you could walk on them . After 1 hr our arms were so sore . So we decided to walk to the next log pile up .
It was Graylings now ! Just millions of them . We just hammered them again .Two graylings every time we pulled the line up . After 1/2 hr we pulled a fly rod out with a floating fly .. This was something to see in clear water just 10 ft from where we were standing , you could see two graylings come up as soon as the fly hit the water . We must of caught over 300 fish each that day . We were blessed ! Came back to the same spot every year on our annual moose hunt and we were lucky even to catch 1 fish . Not sure if we were out a few days that made the difference or if the numbers just went down by that much .
