I made it out this evening on the creek. I ended up with a little over ten fish to net, the largest being a belly-bulging 17"er. I lost just as many fish. One of the fish lost was a really nice fish, about 20" and SUPER FAT. He bent the hook out. It wasn't on a #24 hook, either. He straightened a #16 TMC 3769. Hot flies for the day were #16-18 micromays and a #24 drowned midge. There was a nice BWO hatch going on today. There were a couple of sizes coming off of the water, so I rigged a pair of micromays and started to hammer fish. I didn't see one caddis, but there were the usual million midges lining the banks. A major plus today was the lack of wind. The water's been too nice. I haven't worn waders on the creek in a couple of months, and I won't be putting them on anytime soon.
