Back to the Norfork

TIME: 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM

WEATHER:  Partly cloudy, low 90s,

WATER CONDITIONS:  0 Units

LOCATIONS FISHED:  Norfork River, Above and Below the Island below McClellan’s.  

ROD USED:  8’6” 5 wt JWF Winston

FLIES USED:  Brown Wayne’s Fly, Cream/Copper Midge, Red Copper John

HATCHES:  Midges

OTHER:  Fished with Ed.  We got off to a slow start fishing Mill Dam Eddy, with only a fish or two.  Working our way upstream, several fish were caught along side of the island.  The riffle above the island fished tough, but several fish were taken.  We were joined, and crowded, by other fishers who had walked upstream from the pool.  Ace In The Hole produced NO fish, and I only caught a couple in the Narrows.  As time approached for generation to begin, we made our way downstream.  A small discharge of water stimulated the fish, and the riffle below the island fished red hot on a zebra midge, producing a couple dozen fish.  Though beginning slow, the day ended with lots of fish being caught.
