TIME: 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM
WEATHER: Low 70s rising to mid-90s
WATER CONDITIONS: 1 unit
LOCATIONS FISHED: White River, Rim Shoals 2nd riffle
HATCH: A rare caddis or two
ROD USED: Winston 7’ 9” 2-weight LT
FLIES USED: #16 bead head flashback pheasant tail, #14 mini bugger, #14 furnace cockleburr
OTHER: I fished with Karyn, her boyfriend Matt, and Kay. I focused most of my time guiding, and Karyn managed to catch 3 or 4 fish—one on a #16 bead head flashback pheasant tail and the others on a #14 bead head mini-bugger. Matt caught a half dozen or so (his first time ever to fly fish) on a #14 mini bugger; I think he's hooked, both ways! Kay didn't fare well today because of the high water, and a bad ankle prohibited her from wading very far. I caught several using both the bead head flashback pheasant tail and the furnace cockleburr greased and stripped. Fishing was tough; a number of fly fishers crowded us as we were the only ones catching fish.
