Today at Jimmy’s 02-10-09

Winter returned to Idaho Falls last night. After some really nice weather with highs reaching into the upper 30’s we had some nice days to go fishing this last week. Jimmy went on Thursday, and I headed out on Saturday. Jimmy found success with a midge pupa, and I had the most success on a brown Pat’s rubberleg. I took my dog Moose with me, as usual. We walked the lower banks of the South Fork River. It was a lot warmer than I had expected. Between trying to keep Moose from pulling every stick out of the water to chew on, and navigating sketchy ice that has formed on the back eddy’s, we had some really good fishing. I was on the river for the majority of the afternoon, and to my surprise I didn’t see a midge hatch. I think that it is still a little early for the midges to be hatching in great numbers. Posted below are a couple photos from the afternoon on the river.
