Wednesday, September 19, 2012—It’s Dry Fly Time

TIME: 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM

WEATHER: Mid to high 70s, sunny, breezy

WATER CONDITIONS: 0 Units

LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, Mill Dam Eddy

FLIES USED: #14 Norfork River crane fly

ROD USED: Winston 9’ 6-weight BII

HATCHES: Crane flies, midges

OTHER: Back from a trip to the Canadian Maritime Provinces to find cooler weather and fishable water, I fished with Wayne and Bill.  It was Wayne’s first time on the water in several weeks, but he hasn’t lost his touch, catching at least 5 dozen fish.  I hung around Mill Dam Eddy, wanting to fish dries, and caught a couple of dozen fish on a crane fly imitation.  My friend, Donnie, came down the river, and I convinced him to fish dry flies as well.  He, too, caught several on the crane fly imitation.  120919_EB01Wayne finished catching all the fish upstream, and waded back down, waiting to exit the water.  120919_EB02As we left, I snapped a photo of some pretty wildflowers on the river bank.
