These Guys Can Catch Fish

TIME: 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM

WEATHER: Partly cloudy, mid 50s,

WATER CONDITIONS: 0 Units

LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, Below Otter Creek to Island below McClellan’s

ROD USED: n/a

FLIES USED: #14 Gray Norfork River Scud, Brown Wayne’s Fly, #20 Olive Cockleburr

HATCHES: Midges, Caddis

OTHER: Accompanied Bill, Dick, Mike, and Larry for some Norfork River fly fishing. We walked up to Ace in the Hole and fish were taking midges like crazy, as Dick caught about a dozen fish. We made our way downstream to the area above the island, where fish were also taking midges in abundance, but Dick couldn’t get one to strike his fly. We walked to the bottom of the island and Dick caught several fish on the Cockleburr while Bill and I watched and critiqued, enjoying lots of laughs along the way. Mike and Larry caught lots of fish in the areas they fished using a partridge and yellow soft hackle.

As a side note, I saw a half dozen caddis coming off. We're close.
