No need to be an early bird to fish this stream; things don?t really get going on top until 10:00. Drive over was uneventful, although a guy in front of me nearly bagged a black bear crossing the road. Still pretty green around here, thanks to a wet June and relatively cool July; fingers crossed that continues.
This?ll do
Only a few midges and a lone yellow sally show; not that I was expecting to have to match the hatch here. Royal Moodah gets to lead off
A few refusals then a connection
A few more casts, a few more fish then it?s time to switch
Scott,
You changed flies six or seven times…because ??? I ask only because I would probably depend on using the FIRST fly that probuced the FIRST fish as long as conditions , typeof water and time of day were consistant. BTW, that is NOT etched in concrete for all cases and conditions. I confess that my reluctance to change flies often is due, in no small part , to my age/eyesight.
Ted,
Actually THAT was my next thought when posting my response. Your comment/observation is obvious but for some reason, I recanted posting that PROBABILITY
I don’t think I fished any fly more than 10 minutes; they weren’t picky and I was trying out some different patterns for floatability/visibility (didn’t post pics of all the stuff I used).
