June 14, 1975
Tried the fishing again today with virtually no action -
10 to 12 PM at Rockslide, 4 to 5 PM here at our camp. Toke
one nice little 10" brownie and a smaller rainbow. I'd told
all day that I could see, and correspondingly no rest.
Several fair sized fish came up to the fly and bumped it,
obviously not trying to feed.
At the Rockslide I saw Trachy, a Solent, a raccoon, and
a muskrat. Beaver dams one behind the next, to the
point where there is little running water left to fish.
Around camp where I am throwing bird seed we had
six chipmunks in sight at once. Chickarees are almost
always in evidence - chasing each other back and forth
across the creek or carrying lodgepole cones to cache.
I never recall seeing so many chickarees here.
San Francisco Flycasting Club, Truckee River
June 15, 1975
Ed Landels invited me to have dinner and an
evening of fishing at the club near Boca. He ate at
8 PM, had a nice long nap, and were on the river
from about 5 PM to 8:30 PM.
Rise started at 6 PM and continued in a
desultory, off-and-on manner until dark. Ed at
Leach caught about 10 fish, mine went from
9" to 16 1/2", about half rainbow, half brownies.
