Lots Of Fishing!
Cool mornings (40s), but the days are warming into the upper 70s or low 80s. Suppose to warm up a little through the weekend, but a cool front is coming through Monday. Upper 30s to low 40s in the morning and highs next week in the 60s!
Not much change in the generation pattern. Off during morning hours and on any where from noon on. Still low dissolved oxygen but they are pumping in liquid oxygen to help the situation.
Landon and Gary on the water last Sunday with a family of five from Kansas. Troy, Nola, Emma, Cameron and Nicole. First time fly fishing for the 13, 18 and 19 year olds. Fun day for everyone on the ruby 2 midge.
Mike – 10/7/24
Monday, Carolyn took Dave and Mike out for the day. One of those weird days when they started running a low one unit at 9:00 a.m. Ran that for a couple hours and bumped it up to a full one unit. Fished the full run from above the boat ramp down to our normal take out about five miles down. Pulled fish almost all the way. Almost everything on the ruby 2 midge. Did do some streamer fishing and caught them on the holographic green trailer on sinking leaders. Fun day! Jim had Randy and Terry out for half a day. They had just finished our Orvis two-day fly fishing school and wanted to get more! Tough day and there was no best fly. They did, however, bring from fish to the boat and worked more on techniques.
Tuesday, Dana took Steve and Kyle from Kansas out for a half-day wade trip. Fairly new fly fishers so they worked on casting. Landed some five on the olive wooly bugger.
Landon on the water Wednesday with Bob from Arkansas. They were catching on the Ruby 2 midge, Holographic green crackleback, and a peach egg pattern.
Thursday, Gary took Jay from Illinois out for half-day wade trip. Pretty good day for them catching on the black copperhead midge and a gray scud. Carolyn had Randy and Art on the water for half a day. Pretty good day for them too on the ruby 2 and P&P midges and a peach egg pattern.
