hard fishing-small fish

[phins]

Went fishing on Aug. 10. Pheeeew! talk about contrary to biting. Fished with everything from #24 nymphs to powerbait. Fishing is so slow even the gentleman with the Double D Bait fishing vest commented how slow it had been lately. You just gotta know this fellow has the stream memorized.

Fish are small stockers, maybe 10 inchers. Had much nicer fish earlier in the year. We did catch 2 nice ones though but brother they are few and far between. If you go down bring your patience with you.

Had results on jigs and rooster tails. Not so much with nymphs and bait.

I know what you mean. I took my wife and kids down on Saturday the 12th to have a picnic and maybe wet a line for a few minutes. I threw about everything that usually works there at them, didn't work. Line shy is my excuse . I was using 7X tippet and they would make a hard run at the fly and bump it, but no bites! Most follows were on a yellow #16 crackleback. They really appeared to like it being stripped back in. That's where I had my only two hookups. They are small! Picnic went alright though.
