Even though water levels had ramped up to 30 year highs on the Frying Pan River, we still were able to find some very nice Rainbows and Browns.  With the high waters, there really wasn&#8217;t much opportunity to fish to rising fish&#8230;small nymphs were the ticket.  I fished one of my 8&#8242;  0&#8243;  6 wt bamboo fly rods&#8230;and Bill fished graphite&#8230;ugh!  Mysis Shrimp near the dam worked very well, and small #22 midge and BWO nymphs and emergers worked very well lower down on the river.  Here are a few photos of our trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\"
