St. Francis 4/15

[Outside Bend]

Fished the St. Francis the other day for a few hours, fairly productive. Lots of green and longear sunfish which wanted to play, smashing foam spiders and bugs on top, and got two slashes at a white diver/streamer by smallies. Missed a couple smallies on an olive and gold zonker, stripped through runs, seams, and amongst bolders. Wound up catching a coupele fish 10-12 inches, and another that ran 14 or so, right at dark. Great fun on a fly rod, and great scenery to boot.

Olive seemed to be the only consistent thing about the bite- fish didn't want white, or tan, or orange, or black, or anything else. But tie on something olive, and they were awfully receptive.
