DATE: Friday, 7/1/2005
TIME: 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM
WEATHER: Low 80s to mid-80s, overcast
WATER CONDITIONS: 0 units
LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, riffle above McClellan’s
HATCH: Tiny black midges, crane flies
ROD USED: Winston 8’ 6” 5-weight WT Joan Wulff Favorite
FLIES USED: #20 olive cockleburr, #14 furnace cockleburr
OTHER: I fished with Dick Todd. I fished downstream of the riffle—there was a boat crosswise in the riffle, right where the fish tend to hold. The boat had pushed the fish downstream and they were feeding on midge clusters. The #20 olive cockleburr took some fish cast quartering downstream and stripped back. The boat left after about an hour and we moved upstream and the fish followed. Fish were coming out of the water for the #14 olive cockleburr. There were no big fish, but the small ones were loads of fun.
