Just because it will be harder to do in a few weeks we’ve spent a bit of time in the Canyon fishing pocket water.
Yes, it’s fun and no, there are not huge fish there. Personally I find fishing waters that don’t attract the ‘20/20’ crowd increasingly attractive. The Parks’ guys like Trudes here, though any well presented, smallish attractor (I’m partial to brightly colored Humpies myself) will work here. That small water rod is a great fit as well.
There are still Caddis and Drakes in the meadows if you hit it right, with a few PMDs around even (cloudy days like today – hot damn).
Probably our favorite Gibbon water is that above Norris (and yep – some of it is ‘children’s water’); though pretty rare these days you’ll still have a shot at a grayling up here too.
No construction in the Gibbon Canyon this weekend.
