Willow creek

lds · #1 07-18-2014, 01:22 PM

How's the water looking around chain lakes. Also has anyone tossed in a fly this year yet. I tried it last year after the floods and was very disappointed. Used to pull out 5-10 an hour and I only saw signs of one fish. Wondering if it has recovered at all this year. It's one of my fav. Streams

Fished willow creek by Indian graves recently. It was decent like last year. Many colorful brookies are willing to take dries. Nothing bigger than 8" in that area tho, but I was fun on my 2wt

Upstream, was the bridge by Indian graves out?

That's good to hear. Anyone fish below chain lakes?

FYI. Willow Ck within a km of the 535 bridge, up or down. has been pounded hard by Stewardship License fishermen. Go for a walk, the fishin' pretty good.

Yes it has really hard. Especially by myself

Sorry for the late reply, I just got back home from jumping pound.
Had a blast today with like 25 small brookies and 1 cutty.
Anyways both Johnson and willow bridge were good at Indians graves, but there will be blockades right after it. Willow fished great for me as well. Nothing big but the pure color brookies are always nice and fun to catch on my 2wt.
Same to jumping pond by powers we face... Both creek in the upper stretch doesn't produce anything more than 10". Picture below is the average size from these type of water. I took this friend of mine to give him some tutorial today as he is a brand new to fly fishing. He caught his first and second.... And like 10 fishes today

One more question. Why every picture I uploaded from my iPhone were sideway or up side down... Please help if anyone solved this issue. And sometimes it won't even upload, just shows "upload fail"
Much thanks!

And yes I know, I need a real camera for rising Rocky Mountain fish's sake!

Correction to typo above. "Powder face"

Damn I meant 532. Sorry brain fart

upstream · #15 07-19-2014, 05:25 PM

I wonder if 532 is ever gona be fixed. That's one of my favorite road to livingstone! Perhaps the greylings will live happy ever after...

desol · #16 07-21-2014, 12:22 AM

So, the 532 is still not fixed? I was wondering about it...

although everybody takes I phone pictures with the phone upright it is actually meant to be taken with the phone sideways or horizontal do this and it will solve all your issues but it is important that you keep the picture button on the right hand side to push with your right thumb if you turn it the other way your pictures will load upside down. The reason people don't know this is because the I-phone automatically flips the photo and shows it properly even though when taken upright it is sideways also Facebook shows it properly as well but your pc and some sites this one included don't auto fix the photo so you must take the photo with your phone in the horizontal position button on the right. Oh yeah there is one more stupid little glitch with this if you are putting your phone in the self photo mode using the lens that is screen side then you must hold the phone horizontal but with the button on the left instead of the right .... I know this all sounds silly but it's true and it works trust me same for I phone videos. try it and let me know.
Cheers!!
Diddy.
