Happy to report that hatches are thick at my favorite lake. Sad to report that the biggest hatch are super small midges. Got to the lake on Saturday and no one was there except for my buddy Charlie. He said the report all week was the fishing was really poor. Not to be discouraged since I haven't fished for 3 weeks I went out for the evening hatch. Saw nothing but midges. Since I fish Putah Creek I have a love hate feeling about midges. The hatch was thick though. The midges were balling up so I tried the Griffiths. Nothing so I put on a size 22 Quigley cripple in black on 7x! That was the ticket! The good thing about the cripple is you can at least see a wing.
