Frenchmans on 6/11

[Chris Evison]

Guided Frenchmans on friday. Got on water about 9:30am. Very windy and partly cloudy. Got over 15 fish to boat. 3 stripping- 2 on a punk perch and 1 on a gold bead black birdsnest, also missed a few.

Best action was on blood midges (I use my Pyramid Lake flies) under the indicator. Sizes 10-16. Most on sz 10 red holographic body, gold bead, gold wire, or claret body black bead black wire. Got a couple on sz 16 snowcone midge. Missed plenty of take downs.

I use my Pyramid midges on most of the lakes (Crowley, Bridgeport res, Davis, Eagle, Frenchmans, Prosser for smallies) I fish. I say try them anywhere there are midges.

Came off water around 2:15pm. Wind never stopped blowing, but still a good day:)

Nice work Chris!Can I have my midge back now?

Fun time fishing with you the other night.Let's do it again soon!!By the way Davis was slow on Friday...We only caught 753 in two hours.Worst day of the year yet.

Jay, was that big day single handed, or did you fish a rod in both hands? (It does make a difference.)
Some year I'm going to fish only a midge, but not this year.
You get down this way, give me a shout.
