Made the trek up to Fires on Saturday for the first time. Drove up about a mile past the picnic area and stumbled and bushwacked straight down to the water. The water seemed low but maybe it was normal. Thought that area had gotten a lot of rain recently? Such a nice stream and several really nice runs, now only caught 3 and had 2 to get off. Tried a flying ant for about a half hour with nothing, switched to girdle bug with a tan san juan dropped and started to get bit. I know I was in the DH section from seeing the signs. Not easy to see because they are small and black and white. Don't know if the rainbows were DH holdovers or stream born, they were all only 11 or 12 inches each. Fished my way up to where a four wheeler road came down to the stream, no way to get up that hillside until I got to that road. Can't wait to get back in the fall. Hope to check out Snowbird next.
