It’s Freezing Out Here

DATE: Tuesday, 3/15/2005

TIME: 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM

WEATHER: High 30s to low 40s, sunny, moderate wind, sleet, snow, and rain

WATER CONDITIONS: 0 units

LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, McClellan’s at or near the dock, and at the riffle above the dock

HATCH: Moderate midge hatch, fish rising to hatch

ROD USED: Unknown

FLIES USED: #14 furnace cockleburr, #24 pear glass bead head zebra midge, #24 pearl glass bead head green caddis pupa, #14 bead head mini woolly bugger

OTHER: I fished with Wayne and Slim. Slim and I started at the dock at McClellan's. Fishing was slow, but I finally got some hits downstream on #14 furnace cockleburr, and ended up taking 4 fish just downstream of McClellan's Dock. I moved up to the riffle, and cast the #14 furnace cockleburr quartering downstream and picked up one fish, and had another strike. I finally froze out and left for home and hot coffee. It was tough fishing in tough fishing conditions.
