OTHER: Fished solo. Daughter and husband were visiting, sleeping late, and I decided to get a quick fly fishing fix. Walked in near the house, and found an area with some space, and began fishing the Dunn’s Dun dry. Caught a couple of small fish. Saw a couple of neighbors on the river and visited briefly with them, and one said he had fished the area I was fishing earlier in the morning. With the absence of rising fish, I moved across the island and saw several rising fish, but couldn’t get one to take the fly, either fished dry or stripped. Finally cast to a rising fish which took the fly and ended up with a good 12-incher. Tried several more casts but got no response, not even a refusal. Left the river after only an hour, but it was good.
