The Fork - Big 'Bow Saves The Day 25May17

I hiked into Williams Fork River today despite the "guarantee" of storms at 1:30pm. I got there late and started fishing at ~11:30am. Fishing was slow with just one smallish brown - though I did catch a moose crossing the Colorado at the mouth of the Fork. I fortunately landed a nice 18" golden colored rainbow - I think I've caught him before. He took the Cheeseman Emerger. I left about 2:30pm after an hour in the rain & hail but when lightning was headed my way and the wind was up too much. Funny how a big fish brightens the outlook on an otherwise weak outing.
