DATE: Saturday, October 14, 2006
TIME: 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM
WEATHER: Low 40’s rising to low 70s
WATER CONDITIONS: 0 units
LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, McClellan's
HATCH: Several midges and crane flies
ROD USED: Winston 8’ 6” 5-weight WT Joan Wulff Favorite
FLIES USED: #14 tan Norfork River scud, #14 gray Norfork River scud, #14 mini bugger, #20 Kay's Gray, #20 olive cockleburr
OTHER: We fished with Ron and Ginger. It was another tough day, particularly on sub-surface flies. However, Ron and I got into a pretty good midge and crane fly hatch above the island, and took several cutthroats on the Kay's Gray fished as a dry fly. (Note: my experience is that the Kay's Gray works best with full sun as I've had no success with overcast skies.) Ron continued fishing downstream and caught several fish on top using the #20 Cockleburr. Dry fly fishing is the only way to go some days.
