Fantastic Monday On The River

[MikeH]

Spent the whole day on the river Monday. I stuck to euro-nymphing methods most of the day although I did briefly use an indicator. A little rusty brown biot nymph stayed as my dropper just about all day and caught most of the fish. My point flies had varying success but a pheasant tail jig nymph did pretty well in the shallower sections. Caught some decent ones but no monsters, although numbers made up for this. Me and a spin fisherman did have a brown easily over the 24 inch mark spotted. It flashed his lure but didn't want anything to do with us after that. I decided to come back for it but it was no where to be found later. A mixed hatch of caddis and cahills came off in the evening. It drove me crazy at first. There were far more caddis about but they wouldn't take any of my caddis flies. I then went the cahill route and eventually ended up with a CDC emerger that they'd take. I guess the hatch was at an early stage and most of the bugs were just under the surface. Even in good lighting that fly isn't easy to see much less at dusk. Eventually I would have no idea where my fly was so I headed home. I should be back down pretty soon so hopefully the fishing stays hot.
