Fishin’ Dry Flies

TIME: 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM

WEATHER: Partly cloudy, mid 60s,

WATER CONDITIONS: 0 Units

LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, Island above Ackerman/Handicap Access

ROD USED: 9’ 6 wt Winston

FLIES USED: #14 Black Cockleburr, #20 Kay’s Gray, #20 Olive Cockleburr

HATCHES: Midges

OTHER: Fished solo. Began at the top of the island, and caught a half dozen on Olive Cockleburr and Kay’s Gray. Moved downstream across from Ole Charlie Cook’s, but wasn’t able to catch any fish, though there were several fish sipping midges in the area. Moved over in front of the pipe at Ole Charlie’s place and caught quite a dozen or more fish on the Black Cockleburr. I didn’t catch any big fish today. Saw a couple of caddis come off, but the fish did not key on them. It has been a long time since I fished dry flies exclusively, and I really enjoyed it.
