TIME: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
WEATHER: Low 80’s, sunny
WATER CONDITIONS: 0 units
LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, McClellan's near Ace in the Hole
HATCH: Small cream midges
ROD USED: Winston 10’ 4-weight WT
FLIES USED: #14 gray Norfork River scud
OTHER: I fished with Wayne. We had a super morning, and caught lots of fish. Sad to say, no one else seemed to be catching any. It was pretty incredible, actually, as we were catching fish almost every other cast. On the next to last two casts, I heard my rod pop just a little, and on the last cast, nothing seemed to happen, and the end of the rod went shooting down the line. It BROKE at the butt end ferrule in the mid-section (3-piece rod). Fortunately, it was about time to go anyway.
P.S. As a post script, I mailed the rod back to Winston this very afternoon, about $10 postage, and $30 for repair, but that's not bad, and I want/need my 10-foot rod back.
