Blue Line

fished today from 9:00am to 5:00pm on a great wild stream.
The air temp started cold around 42 deg, but by noon it was near 55.
The water temp was right at 44, the water was very clear.

I fished the morning with #16 HEN and did pretty well in the pools. The rainbows and browns were very aggressive. Later in the day around 1:00pm, a good hatch of BWO, and lighter colored flies started, size 16, then larger size 14. The hatch lasted until 4:00pm and the fish were eagerly taking them. I used a #16 Adams and the action was good all afternoon. The rainbows are in there spawn colors. I snapped a quick picture of this male rainbow and released him quickly.

It was a great day to be out on the water
