No. My trips have all taken place in the early part of September or late October. I'm sure late June will be productive. Guessing the water could be high that time of year, nymphs and leeches would be what I tied on first. The Joe is one of my favorites to fish, its a good size stream, with robust, healthy trout.

I’ve read about some green drakes and PMD’s about that time of the year. 20 year stream gauge records show that it should be flowing around 400cfs when I’ll be there. Still high but nothing like runoff high.

If you need some grub and a cold one up in that area, TFP's in Avery is a great spot! Good pizzas (chicken too, I think), good people, nice place.

I’ll add it to my list! I’m always down for a cold beer.

Sorry I kinda skipped to the end of the book here, but what are you running lift wise + are those 33's or 35's.

33x10.5 Maxxis Razrs, they suck in the winter.
Lift is a Skyjacker 4", with extended shackles in the rear.

Ugh. Runoff, cfs (or kcfs), snotel….. This thread is going from cruisers and beer to sounding like my work!
 
Added some electrical stuff.

A charger port in the glove box, some LED tape lights inside the cab that I still need to install a switch for, and a 240watt light bar. This is the season for animals as big as my 40 that like to cross the road wherever they dang well please. There's a herd of elk that notoriously likes to cross the road around my house.

This oughta light em up.

Did you use enough wire nuts?

Unfortunately I had to use crimp on butt splices up top until I find some sort of weatherproof connector!
 
Also put the mariachi band back on the dash!

If you have too many wires for a butt connecter, just shove them into coarse steel wool and wrap in electrical tape. Boom! Distribution block.

I’m here to help.
Most people don’t realize steel wool is good for more than just filling rust holes before you bondo over them.
 
Put the fold and tumble back in for a while.
