A Beautiful Fall Afternoon

TIME:  1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
WEATHER:  Partly cloudy, mid 70s,
WATER CONDITIONS:  0 Units
LOCATIONS FISHED:  Norfork River, Mill Dam Eddy to Riffle above Island below McClellan’s
ROD USED:  8’9” 5 wt JWF Winston
FLIES USED:  #14 Norfork River Gray Scud, #18 Black/Silver Zebra Midge
HATCHES:  Midges, Caddis
OTHER:  Fished solo.  Mill Dam Eddy fished slow, with only a couple fish caught.  Nothing worked along the island as I fished upstream.  The riffle above the island fished okay, producing over a half dozen fish, including some nice cutthroats; all were caught on Wayne’s fly, none on the zebra midge dropper.  A couple of fish were caught along the island as I fished the return trip downstream.  Likewise, a couple of fish were caught at Mill Dam Eddy on the way out.  The fall colors were tremendous, probably the optimum day of the season.
NOTE:  Switched fly line to an olive WF Ridgeline, and so far I really like it.
