March 16-18 Report

Midges were very good for me the past three days. Olive & black the best. Fish midging everywhere. Fished the midge from 6" to 24" below the indicator, caught them at both ends.

Caught fish on scuds (gray & olive), white thread jigs and floating wooly worms(had a 1.5 lb one take the rod out of my hand he hit it so hard).

Good size, had several above 1.25 lbs, largest was 1.75 lbs, have eight nice fish for the grill. Did not catch any of the <10" dinks that they have been talking about.

Stream could use a flush. A lot of moss on the edges of the stream that was kicked up when you were walking around. Moss beds in the stream were not that bad. By Sunday afternoon the water in zone 2 was colored up a little. Could be the reason that they were feasting on midges. Radio said quite a bid of rain on the way this week might be what is needed.

Good sized crowd, spring breaks have started. Lots of young kids fishing and catching fish.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like fun!

Looks like the stream is getting a flush. Is that flood stage? I just looked at the camera!

What size midges were you throwing?

[gwh]

Midges were size 16 & 18.

I've never had luck with midges there. I think I've been fishing them to small... 20's and 22's.

I've had more luck with the 16's and 18's also. Easier to tie too.
