Report: Things did not look good early on. As I arrived at what was supposed to be my first spot it started absolutely pelting down. The Hot Box River was swollen and discolored, and for a second I considered going home. I drove another 30 mins upstream, to find the west branch crystal clear water. Session one produced two nice rainbows. Session two (day two) I hit the east branch. This is a much bigger stream, very open and nice to cast in, ending with two nice fish. Unhooking the second wasn't overly successful, so he made a tasty addition to my lunch.
Session three involved a drive into the unknown, a spot I'd been keen to check out for a while. Was absolutely outstanding.
