Hammersley Fork Backpacking - Best Time of Year?

That’s a problem in any stream 😂

True, but I've had it be a problem more on the the HF than I have on any other stream I've fished. I'm thinking maybe because it's a more open stream in a lot of spots than most that I fish, and with their wide wingspan they need the room to maneuver?


One day on the HF, I had one hopscotching me to the point I had to leave the stream, go halfway up the mountain out of it's view, parallel the stream a ways, and drop back down, way upstream of it. It was killing my fishing.

And I am sure that you were killing its fishing, too.

I hadn't caught any until I got way upstream of it. 😉
