Bob A Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Cabin fever having set in, fished Bennett Zone 1 for a couple of hours. Temp about 57 but wind made it feel much worse. Very few anglers upon arrival at noon, only 2 or 3 within sight. Sporadic hatches off and on and lots of midging but didn't have what they wanted. Wife netted 5 on yellow bodied wolly bugger and missed several others. I had one bite (I think). Oh well...at least we had it almost to ourselves. Sure gets cold out there! Bob A Springfield
brittsnbirds Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Bob- The toughest time I have fished C&R was in zone 1, it was about 40 below and the wind was about 60 mph out of the north. It just happens that most of Zone 1 runs North to South which makes for some tough conditions. That wind does crank through there!! Pat

fishinwrench Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I don't ever remember it being 40 below in Missouri. Once it drops into the teens it might as well be 40 below, far as I'm concerned. Those midges at the high-bank yesterday (Monday), were rediculis. I inhaled/swallowed so many that I didn't have room for the sandwich I took, the cab of my truck is still full of them this morning. What is their lifespan anyway ?

fishinwrench Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Midges have a flavor all their own... pungent, but not overbearing. Less bitter than dogpecker gnats. Pound for pound, I'd take a dish of them over DUCK anyday. "prepared properly" of course.
