Good day yesterday! Despite the sun peeking through, the bugs were still out in force, and the fish were feeding on the sporadic flying ant that floated on by. Since the air pressure and river level has stabilized, the fish seem to be more active, and quite a few (including some nice ones!) were drummed up using Isonychia Comparaduns or Parachutes – many more than we’ve been having lately, so if all else fails – remember – they’ll eat an iso!
<<Picture would be here if Bruce Miller hadn’t stepped on his line fighting a nice rainbow last night. Nice Job Bruce.>>
