Bear Trap Canyon- 3/20-3/21

Spent this past weekend camping/fishing up in the Beartrap Canyon with my friend Fix and managed to have some more good luck. We hiked in Saturday morning and set up camp about three and a half miles in before starting to fish some of the windiest conditions I’ve had this year. It wasn’t that there were hurricane force winds, rather a constant 15-20 mph stream that lasted for 36 hours straight. However midges were continuing to hatch, not too much surface action due to the wind, but a size 18-20 Griffiths trailed behind a mega prince seemed to do the trick. We each landed a handful of fish and had a great weekend. The bottom half of the canyon was pretty crowded as we headed out, but if you are looking for solitude and don’t mind a short hike you should find some untouched pockets.
