TIME: 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM
WEATHER: Mid-50s, partly sunny, heavy winds
WATER CONDITIONS: 0 units
LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, Quarry Park
HATCH: Moderate midge hatch, on sporadic fish rising to hatch
ROD USED: Winston 8’ 6” 5-weight WT Joan Wulff Favorite
FLIES USED: #14 furnace cockleburr, #16 olive gray Norfork River scud, #14 bead head mini woolly bugger, #20 Dunn’s Dun
OTHER: I fished with Wayne. We were able to enter the water shortly after the water receded, about noon. Fishing was exceedingly tough; however, Wayne, as usual, managed to catch fish almost at will. I, on the other hand, took only half dozen or so. I had bunches of looks and short strikes on the Dunn's Dun, but couldn’t manage a hook-up. I did take fish on #14 bead head mini wooly bugger, cast quartering downstream and stripping it back. The warning horn blew at 3:00 pm signaling beginning of generation. Today was a “come-uppance” for catching so many fish on Monday and Tuesday!
