HATCHES: Midges

OTHER: Fished with Wayne. Wayne and I both struggled, by Wayne’s standards, but each of us picked up a dozen or so fish. Fish were moderately rising to midges, and I took about half of mine on the #20 Furnace Cocklebur and the other half on the #26 Parachute Black Gnat. One 12-inch brown jumped completely out of the water to take the fly in mid-air, and another brown took a fly right next to a boulder sitting in an area where I typically would not fish. All in all, it was a really fun day as I always immensely enjoy fishing with Wayne, and we had the water to ourselves.
