A Slowdown in Fishing

DATE: Friday, 9/16/2005

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 brown Norfork River scud, #12 Dave’s Hopper, #14 foam ant

OTHER: I fished with Dick. We had a great morning, and caught lots of fish, though catching had slowed from previous trips. Also, fish have moved from previous trips. We did not observe many other fish being caught, so we must have been in the right place at the right time. Besides using the brown scud, I put on a hopper and caught a nice cutthroat. I switched to an ant and had a ferocious strike by a large brown, but could not hook up. By this time it was approaching lunch, and I was hungry so we left the river.
