Fished Saturday and Sunday, along with quite a few other fly fisherman. The great bite faded into a tough scratch. I fished with my brother and we only managed 5 adults for 1 1/2 days on the water. The bite was early. Nothing after 10:00 AM. The fish were caught on Poxyback Hares Ears and Copper Johns. My brother lost a big fish when the hook on his #12 Copper John opened up causing an LDR.
Had a drift boat pull right into the drift I was fishing on Sunday. I could have hit him with a short roll cast. They hooked a great fish on a Hot Shot in the lower part of the run, that I had not worked down to yet. They drifted down river to land the fish, and then rowed right back to the very top. Expecting me to just stop fishing so they could hammer my run. The second time was too much. I let them know about what I thought about their lack of etiquette with a few choice words. Mom would have washed my mouth with soap but some things just need to be said. They fished through pretty quickly at that point.
Talked to over a dozen people nobody had more than 2 fish, and most had 1 or 0.
