FLIES USED: #14 Norfork River crane fly

ROD USED: Winston 9’ 6-weight BII

OTHER: Back from a trip to the Canadian Maritime Provinces to find cooler weather and fishable water, I fished with Wayne and Bill.  It was Wayne’s first time on the water in several weeks, but he hasn’t lost his touch, catching at least 5 dozen fish.  I hung around Mill Dam Eddy, wanting to fish dries, and caught a couple of dozen fish on a crane fly imitation.  My friend, Donnie, came down the river, and I convinced him to fish dry flies as well.  He, too, caught several on the crane fly imitation.  Wayne finished catching all the fish upstream, and waded back down, waiting to exit the water.  As we left, I snapped a photo of some pretty wildflowers on the river bank.
