Truckee River - A Brown and a Bow to Go

After getting my butt skunked on a float East of Town last weekend, I had to get back in the saddle. Went to the old haunts...business as usual. Water today was over 500cfs due to the big rain storm we just had, water looked like tea with sub 12-inch visibility, but the fish were still midging. This brown is missing part of its tail...no doubt a mink attack survivor.
Check out this log, a beaver had it for dinner, ate every inch of bark (inner bark that is). Inner Bark is what beavers subsist on during the lean winter months.
