So the Yellowstone Crew (plus Peter) headed up to Kernville for a little fly fishing action after Christmas. We got there around 9am and fished the cemetery. We got a tip from Guy Jean's to fish anything pink and to fish it deep. Kal and I hooked on to two this morning and that was it for the rest of the day for all of us. We stayed at the Kern Lodge and the lady there hooked us up with a 2 bedroom suite for really cheap. Today, we got to the river around 9 and fished the bridge for most of the day. Kal got two and the rest of us left skunked. The worm dunkers there were killing it after chumming the water though. After lunch, we headed down to the golf course and hiked out to the river. This looked like the best section of river with deep cuts along the banks. There was a BWO hatch around 2, but never saw a single fish rise. As we were packing up Nick and Squirrelly Pete headed down to dunk some salmon eggs in a last attempt to catch fish. Peter supposedly snagged one and Nick left empty handed. Fishing was super super duper slow and am truly surprised any of us caught anything, but it was still one of the most beautiful rivers I have ever fished.
