DATE:  Monday, February 27, 2006

TIME: 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM

WEATHER: Mid-40s

WATER CONDITIONS: 0 units

LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, riffle above McClellan’s

HATCH: None

ROD USED: Winston 10’ 4-weight WT

FLIES USED: #20 Kay's Gray, #14 gray Norfork River scud, #14 elk hair caddis, #26 midge pupae

OTHER: I fished with Wayne. Wayne's second cast resulted in a 23-inch brown—I helped him measure.

He caught several other large fish upstream of the riffle.

I struggled for a while, but finally put on a black #26 midge pupae dropped below a #14 gray scud (we were fishing outside the “Catch and Release” area), and began catching fish with some regularity. It was tough fishing, but I caught 10 to 12 fish.
