TIME: 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
WEATHER: Partly cloudy, mid 80s,
WATER CONDITIONS: 0 Units
LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, Elisabeth Creek to Mill Dam Eddy
ROD USED: 10’ 4 wt Winston
FLIES USED: #14 Norfork River Gray Scud, #18 Black/Silver Zebra Midge
HATCHES: Midges, Caddis
OTHER: Fished with Wayne. The Pool fished a bit slow, but adding a #18 Black/Silver Zebra Midge dropper below the Norfork River Gray Scud aided in catching fish. (It also aids in impaling one’s finger on a hook. A small fish twisted and turned while trying to get unhooked sliding the scud hook in my little finger almost up to the bend of the hook. Thank goodness for barbless hooks.) In fact, every fish caught in the Pool was caught on the midge. Mill Dam Eddy had been fished pretty hard, and only the small riffle immediately below the island produced fish. In fact, I hooked 15 fish in this riffle, some in water only a few inches deep. There were a lot of long distance releases today (LDRs) as several fish unhooked themselves on the way to hand!
