OTHER: Fished with Kay, Ron, and Kaden. We entered the water early anticipating a lot of fishers on this Friday before Memorial Day. Kaden and I fished together most of the morning. Even though he’s only 14, he did a great job on the river, hooking and releasing 4 fish using the #18 Top Secret. He did an exception job with both upstream and downstream mends, and knowing when to use each. Kay fish downstream of us, and caught 7 fish using a #16 Zebra Midge. Ron fished across the island and caught close to a dozen and a half using a #14 Norfork River Gray Scud. Late in the morning, Ron and I moved upstream and I caught several fish using several different dry flies, despite at least 2 dozen refusals. It was a great morning.
