Headed out to Little North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene and it was great. It was a beautiful drive over one pass and then dropped down into the valley. On the way up I saw this moose taking a drink. After a little hike through the woods, a separeted big toe nail completely off my toe, and a few scratches, I hit the water and fished. I dropped into the water at a beautiful big hole where the river had split and was now rejoining with itself. I was fishing an elk hair caddis with a pheasant tail dropper. Two cast and this big mamma jamma surfaced for the dry. The water is here is crystal clear and the hole is probably 6 feet deep so I can see them coming up and just explode on the surface. After I released the first I got my flies back out on the water and two more casts later, another big guy came up and hit the dry. I said goodbye to my dropper at this point and snipped it off. No need. They kept coming the whole time I fished. All surfacing for the dry. Epic fishing. Sadly the big fish took a toll on my rod and the last picture shows the result. Sad day. Thank goodness I have two tips. I wasn't able to get pictures of all the fish but did get some video of some of the others. Hope you enjoy guys. When are you coming to fish with me? Solo trips are nowhere near as fun having a buddy with me.
