One of those Special Days

DATE: Monday, 3/7/2005

TIME: 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM

WEATHER: Mid-50s, partly sunny, moderate winds

WATER CONDITIONS: 0 units

LOCATIONS FISHED: White River, Rim Shoals

HATCH: Significant midge hatch; captured one #12 March Brown mayfly. Fish were moderately rising to hatching insects

ROD USED: Winston 10’ 4-weight WT

FLIES USED: #14 unweighted red San Juan worm, #14 furnace cockleburr, #16 gray White River sowbug, #14 bead head mini woolly bugger, #20 Dunn’s Dun

OTHER: I fished with Wayne. We both caught lots of fish. I had an absolutely awesome day; in fact, it was the best day since April 15, 2003, when Ed, Mike, and I caught lots of fish on caddis flies at Rim Shoals. It rained real hard for several minutes, but the fish kept biting. I had the most success on #14 furnace cockleburr, stripped in heavy current. I lost the rod tip on the Winston 10-foot, 4-weight rod.
