Fishing Report 6-13-09

[NoLuck]

Hey Folks,

I'm down here at Bennett and sitting in the motel. So I decided to do a quick report. The stream is just a little high right now and just a tad bit cloudy. Flow is pretty good too. I didn't get here until 1:30pm to start fishing. When I arrived the crowd looked to be somewhat sparse at first. I went up to fish just above the gauge house with a midge under a small Palsa float. I immediately started to catch fish as long as I got a good drift. I didn't notice if they put more fish in the stream but, this trip I actually had fish under my feet for the first time this season. I then decided to change up fly patterns. I changed 4 or 5 times with success on all my usual patterns. By 4:30pm I had caught 17 fish.

I went down to fish above the dam in deeper water with a full sink line to see how that would work out. The first 5 straight casts with a fish landed. Nothing with any real size but, I caught a ton of fish there. I fished with the full sink line till 8:15 and decided to call it a day. I landed 23 fish and lost probably another 10 before I got them to hand. All in all I had a great day even though the crowd ended up to be pretty good size. I am staying down to fish Sunday also so I'll give you all a report Sunday night or Monday when I get back home.

Take Care,

Rich
