[West Fork Jason]

Nice midge hatch. A good number of folks out, but they all cleared out mid afternoon.

When the front moved in and it clouded up (around 3 or 4pm?) the fish really became active. Used my smallest elk hair dry and dropped a size 18 bead head midge below it a couple of feet. To my surprise a nice size fish came up an ate the elk hair instead of the midge. Wasn't ready with the small tippet, and lost the fish and the fly....Switched to strictly dries (the smallest ones in my box) and picked up a couple more, in the 12-16" slot limit. The good times didn't last real long, maybe an hour tops. The herons were eating well!

Cheers
