TIME: 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM
WEATHER: Partly cloudy, low 90s,
WATER CONDITIONS: 0 Units, fog
LOCATIONS FISHED: Norfork River, Near McClellan’s Dock to Mill Dam Eddy
ROD USED: 8’6” 5 wt JWF Winston
FLIES USED: Brown Wayne’s Fly, Cream/Copper Midge
HATCHES: Midges
OTHER: Today, we changed our routine a bit, fishing upstream exclusively. Fishing pressure above the access has been so intense that the fish will hardly bite and are leader shy, and it’s terribly crowded. Wayne and I tried a couple of casts at the riffle below the island, with only a couple of fish. The riffle above the island fished good today, similar to yesterday. The narrows downstream of McClellan’s also fished well with quite a few fish about 16 inches being caught. Wayne caught a bunch of fish using a new pattern he recently developed. For me, Wayne’s brown fly worked well in places and the copper-ribbed cream midge worked well in others. As with yesterday, I managed maybe a dozen and a half fish with one large rainbow, about 17 inches.
