ROD USED: 10’ 4 wt Winston

HATCHES: Midges, Sulphurs
OTHER: Fished with Wayne. We started at the riffle at the top of the island above Ackerman/Handicap Access, and had some success on Frank’s T-Worm. Wayne said he had a feeling about the pool, and we should fish it. He started at the bottom end, catching one fish after another on his brown fly. I began fishing upstream of him and missed more than I caught, though Frank’s T-Worm was working well with lots of hook-ups. Switching to Wayne’s brown fly, I continued breaking off fish, while Wayne continued catching them. Finally, after putting on a new leader and tippet, I began catching fish more consistently. We worked the pool for a couple of hours, and I moved downstream to where we began, fishing a #14 Special K to some emerging fish, catching 5, including a 16+ inch brown. Wayne caught well over 5 dozen fish, while I managed to catch a few more than 3 dozen. It was one of those days when fishing is so good, you can’t help but feel giddy.
