Today was one of the windiest days I've ever experienced while fishing.  Top 5.  I took my clients Dave and Steve out in the jet boat since it would have been impossible to hold a drift in the drift boat.  We waded some prime riffles in the Anderson/Cottonwood area.  Needless to say, we had the river to ourselves.

We spent the morning swinging flies with 4wt spey rods.  That wasn't red hot, but Steve landed a nice 14" rainbow.  After lunch we had our best fishing.  There was a thick hatch of baetis mixed with some larger PMDs.  Despite the 20mph winds and occasional gusts up to 30+mph, we were able to find a spot where the fish were chowing dries.  Dave landed a beautiful 16" rainbow and several other fish on dries.  We also hooked quite a few on nymphs.  On a cold, windy day, the window of opportunity is brief and we definitely made the most of it!
