Few Good Days, But Still Lots of Tough Days!!
Looks like some nice weather over the next few days. Upper 80s and sunny skies. Next chance for rain is Tuesday.
We continue to see no generation during the morning hours. Ramp up time has been around 2:00 p.m.
Dana on the water last Wednesday with a couple from Wisconsin, Lou and Kathy. Had a good time and caught a few fish on the copper dun and copperhead black midges.
Thursday, Dana took Tony from Illinois out for the morning. Tony is new to fly fishing so he wanted to learn. They worked on presentation and caught a couple fish on the rusty midge. Darren had Mike and Ralph on the water. They had a few hooks-up on tiny scuds and midges but never got them to the boat. Ralph went out with Darren again on Friday. He again had a few hook-ups but not to the boat. Tough!
Saturday, Dana and Carolyn took a group from Texas out. Carolyn had Steve and Chris and Dana took Dean. Dean landed a bluegill on the copper dun midge. Carolyn’s guys caught a few on a gray scud.
Rick – 9/12/21
Sunday was one of those few better days. Carolyn’s guys, Rick and Vic caught several fish. We had one low unit running all day and the ruby 2 under the big ruby was the ticket. Dana was on the river with Charles and his son Sam. They are new to fly fishing and had a good time. Caught a few fish on the ruby 2 and gray scud.
Monday, one of Carolyn’s regulars, JP, brought

his nephew Matt to try his hand at fly fishing. After a few basics on casting Matt caught his first trout on a fly rod. Not a fast and furious day, but they landed several on the P&P

midge and had a good time.
We are experiencing very low DO (dissolved oxygen), especially when the water is off. After it has been running for a few hours, the level definitely improves, but still not to the levels the fish really like. Please take time to make certain your fish are in good condition when you release them back into the river after catching them.
