Fishing Dry Flies

DATE: Tuesday, 6/21/2005

TIME: 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM

WEATHER: Mid-80 to high 80s, clear, calm

WATER CONDITIONS: 0 units

LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, Mill Dam Eddy

HATCH: Very small black midges

ROD USED: Winston 8’ 6” 5-weight WT Joan Wulff Favorite

FLIES USED: #14 furnace cockleburr

OTHER: I fished with Wayne. Upon arrival at Mill Dam Eddy, fish were rising like crazy just downstream of the stickup, near where the tree hangs over the water. The fish were midging, and frankly, taking just about anything hitting the water. Well, they hit the #14 furnace cockleburr like crazy. I managed to take a large cutthroat, about 21 inches, and 3 rainbows about 16 inches. I did not fish but about 1-1/2 hours as I had consulting work to do. Pictures of two of the fish are shown.clip_image002
