Monthly Outing – South Fork of the Toutle River
Right now we are targeting the South Fork of the Toutle River. There could be some last minute changes, depending on weather and the latest water conditions. We will update meeting place and more details as we get closer.
From Jesse Bakke, Outings Chair:
We’re here to have fun, so suffer on your own time. Resident trout. Floating line, indicators, and rip through your nymph wallet. It’s cold and the water is yucky. So the fish are gonna be scared, lazy, and hungry. My plan is to use this new sliding/adjustable knot I learned on my tippet so I can quickly shift the depth of my nymphs. Prior to that I will tie one loud and proud pattern on. Then suspend something that looks like it could occur in nature below it.
This outing will require grit and determination most of us haven’t accessed in decades. But with enough layers, hot breakfast
and steady egos we will enjoy ourselves. The camaraderie and nature is what we’re all really here for.
