Wayne’s Back

TIME: 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM

WEATHER:  Partly cloudy, mid 70s,

WATER CONDITIONS:  0 Units

LOCATIONS FISHED:  Norfork River

ROD USED:  8’ 9” 5 wt Winston Joan Wulff Favorite

FLIES USED:  #14 Norfork River Gray Scud, #18 Norfork River Olive Scud, #18 Red Zebra Midge, #14 Ginger Cockleburr

HATCHES: Midges, Caddis

OTHER:  Fished with Wayne.  We both struggled through the Pool on the way upstream.  I caught a few fish at Mill Dam Eddy, while Wayne waded upstream catching a couple alongside the island below McClelland’s, and a few at Ace in the Hole.  I caught 3 fish in the tailout of the riffle just above the island, and 3 more at Ace in the Hole after dropping the #18 red Zebra Midge below the olive Scud.  Wayne began catching fish with regularity along the bank opposite Otter Creek, and continued catching fish on the way back downstream.  He caught fish again at Mill Dam Eddy, and wore the upper Pool out wading downstream.  I had about a dozen fish for the day, while he must have caught 2 or 3 dozen.  He’s back!  And it’s always fun fishing with him.
