Slow Day On The Current

[fishgypsy]

I managed to make it down to the Current today...almost before all the ice and rain.

Fished mainly around Tan Vat and downstream, and had the whole place to myself.

Not many bugs coming off, a few sporadic caddis and BWO's, but the fish were definitely looking up. I caught a few little rainbows on a #16 X-Caddis, missed five or six others. Fish were also taking blue-winged olives, size 20 or so, and I caught two on #20 BWO hackle stackers. I tried a few nymphs but didn't get much, aside from fish rising to inspect and take my Thingamabobber : ) I tied on a big stimulator for grins, and had three or four fish come up and inspect it.

Other than that, not much really going on subsurface. I had a few tugs on a #8 mohair leech, and I had a decent-sized rainbow literally destroy a bright red san juan worm, which was pretty memorable.

Wildlife was a little sparse, aside from an immature bald eagle watching me and some funky sort of hawk I saw on the way in. All in all the action was a little slow, but the solitude made up for some of it.

Take care!

Thanks for the report. I'm headed down next weekend and would love to get some BWO and caddis action. Any idea what the accessibility of Cedar Grove is like with snow and ice on the ground?

As of yesterday the road is clear. 1=2 inches of snow predicted for today.

Heading down to CG now. Will give you a report later this afternoon.
