OTHER: I fished with Dick today. It was a relatively tough day fishing as the fish did not take the scud at all. I switched early to the #20 Dun Cockleburr, and had some luck fishing it as a dry fly, and also stripping during the swing. Switched to a BWO about 10:00 AM, but had not success, so switched back to the #20 Dun Cockleburr. All in all, I took about a dozen fish in the AM. A local guide was fishing above us, and was doing quite well. He said he was having success using a big gray sowbug. I returned to the water, solo, in the afternoon, and used the 2 wt to catch 8 to 10 rising fish on the Dun Cockleburr.
