Baptist Report

[ozark trout fisher]

I got down about noon yesterday to Baptist camp. Fishing was pretty good all day long, with scattered hatches of mostly Caddis, but also a few various mayflies here and there. I spent most of the day fishing the dry fly (Elk Hair Caddis mostly, with a bit of success on a #18 Adams) and did fairly well. When there weren't any bugs on the water, I caught a few on nymphs, mostly Copper Johns. No big fish, just a bunch of nice Current River trout. There's a lot of worse ways to spend a day anyway.

Glad to hear that the river fished well. We're coming down in a few weeks. Hoping to hit the caddis hatch again like we did last year. They were coming off in swarms last year...slayed fish all day on Elk Hair Caddis...it was epic fishing. Can't wait to get back...

It was mostly cloudy with a little rain here and there. Right after dark on the way back it started to rain like crazy, but it mostly held off through the day. I don't think the river went up too much though.

I was mostly fishing about a half mile below Baptist.
