HATCH: Midges
ROD USED: 8’ 9” 5 wt Winston Joan Wulff Favorite
FLIES USED: Wayne’s Fly (Olive and Black), Cerise Worm, #20 Kay’s Gray
OTHER: Fished with Wayne. Returned to the uppermost riffle on river left at the top of the island above Ackerman Handicap Access. I caught a 3 fish in the riffle on a Cerise Worm, then switched to a Kay’s Gray to take advantage of surface feeding fish. I managed a couple of fish before another fisher walked in just about 10 yards downstream, severely limiting my long drift. It rally torqued me that he was so close, and as I was leaving he said he wanted to fish the riffle. I told him he was crowding me, life was too short to be stressed about it, and that I hoped he had a good day. I moved downstream to an area not known for holding fish, and continued fishing the Kay’s Gray, taking a couple on top and 4 more pulling the fly under at the beginning of the swing and stripping it back. It was not a bad afternoon, but I had to work for all the fish.
