ROD USED: 7’ 9” 2-wt Winston WT
HATCHES: Caddis, Midges, Crane flies
OTHER: I fished with Ed, Bill, and John. We walked in at Mill Dam Eddy to falling water. Bill and John remained downstream while Ed and I waded upstream. Fishing was slow on the scud/zebra midge combination. Shortly after 9:00 AM, crane flies began surfacing and fish were rising to them. 
Ed moved to the center of the riffle, between two streams of river, and immediately began catching fish on top; most of the fish were 14-15 inches and pretty hot. He continued to catch fish on the crane fly imitation for the next 3 1/2 hours. I fished the right descending side of the riffle and caught quite a few fish. I waded upstream to the plunge pool and again caught fish, about half of which were caught stripping the crane fly imitation. I switched back to the scud/zebra midge combination, moved to the left descending side, and caught several fish in the small riffle. wading downstream to the tail out above the island, the fish continued taking the zebra midge, with far more misses than catches. Bill worked his way upstream and caught lots of fish below, along side of, and above the island while John caught a bunch of fish below the island.
