A Tough Day, and a Bluegill

TIME: 11:45 AM to 2:45 PM
WEATHER:  Cloudy, high 40s, and very windy

WATER CONDITIONS:  0 Units

LOCATIONS FISHED:  Norfork River, Mill Dam Eddy to Riffle above Island Below McClellan’s

ROD USED:  8’ 9” 5 wt Winston Joan Wulff Favorite

FLIES USED:   #14 Norfork River Scud (Olive), #20 Red/Silver Zebra Midge

OTHER:  Fished solo.  Fished Mill Dam Eddy, but with little success.  Fished the right side of the island above Mill Dam Eddy, but only caught a couple towards the top.  Ace-in-the-Hole produced a few fish with some very hard fishing; I did manage to take a bluegill here, a first for me on the Norfork River.  The riffle above the island below McClellan’s did not yield many fish either, despite some hard fishing. All in all, the afternoon produced about 9 fish, even though I fished harder than on most days.  I did note the water was quite warm to the touch, and “cloudy”.
