Memories

The last three days spent with Dan and his son Micheal were very memorable, not only was their company most entertaining, but the evening dry fly fishing was great. Isonychia duns by-far-and-away are the preferred floating meal, though drakes, sulphers, caddis, and a few bwo’s are giving the trout options. Timing of the best dry fly fishing has been completely dictated by precipitation and ultimately cloud cover. Days with low skies have given way to great fishing by 6:30pm as was the case two nights ago between rain showers. However last night we had to wait until about 8pm in order to see activity.

Keying in on specific fish has been important, the very nice brown that Micheal holds could not be fooled two days ago, however we went back to find him last night and Micheal was rewarded on his third drift. I can’t say for sure who was more excited–me, Micheal, or his proud father!
