Back from The Last Frontier

"Team Unguided" has returned from the wilds of Alaska with stories to tell, and hours of film to edit. The expedition was a resounding success and the fish were plentiful. All thanks to Mikey, his gear shop and hospitality was all one could ask for. I've never drank so many milkshakes!

Enjoy this teaser of the Gov, and more will be forthcoming. Oh, and Hondo the Mule is the newest "Oncorhynchus mykiss Club" member, congrats!

Salmonfly hatch 6-12

Ran up the canyon here, with kids in tow, and found the salmonfly hatch going on. Caught fish after fish, they were smashing anything! Fun few hours. Even had Noah catching a few.

Birthday Bash

Black Canyon IV from John Berry on Vimeo.

well, what can I say boys? Amid rain and cold, we stuck with it and were rewarded for our efforts. Don't know if I can ever go back.. that would be tempting fate.

Best Day Ever!

ok, that's all I can say. I'll post some photos, but it doesn't do it justice. suffice it to say, caught about 40 fish, mostly between 14-19" Jumping, hopping, slamming mutha rainbows.. I was amazed at the ferocitiy and downright disregard for life that these fish showed. Many took me to task, and won. I had many bust my tippet like nothing, or tangle me in rocks and limbs.. leaving me shaking and confused.. quote of the day, "OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!" a few 'bows jumped 5 times in a row.. a site to see. Anyhow, I'll stand by my words. best day ever.

Black Canyon: the Threepeat.

Ok, I'm not original.. but when the water is low and clear.. you've just gotta go.

Not so Hot at New

Small Small Mouth on the New River from Mick Berry on Vimeo.

Beautiful day, but not much happening with the smallies. Floated a section rarely floated because the water conditions were high enough, but that also made for darker water. Used a green wooly with no result, then tied on a egg leach which made it nice to see in the water. Figured out they would take it just hanging in the current when I had cast and was messing with the canoe (teathering it to my waste) when I caught a little smallie by accident. That worked for Christian also on her black rooster tail.

Quote of the day:
Govna: "can you see your lure right there spinning in the current"
Chris: "Yeah, I'm suprised it doesn't give the fish a seizure from looking at it".

May head up into Virginia section in June after the spawn and see what happens.
