Heading Down Friday - Fishing Sat Morning And Sun Morning

[podum]

Ill be wading, probably at the hatchery. I usually midge, throw scuds and swing soft hackles. Any other suggestions? Company?

Try the mega worm

Ducky, what exactly is a mega worm? Google did not supply relevant answers.

Scroll down a little. The search part on the forum is pretty awesome here and gets a lot of help when I want to tie something.

The primrose & pearl or the rusty midge have been working for me. #16. If it's windy- throw a soft hackle, crackleback or a small wooly.

Good luck!

A coworker just made a trip and was killing them on Rapala minnows.

Thanks for the help all. I fished 3 hours each morning Sat and Sunday and did ok. Most fish on a bead head rusty midge I tied in size 16 and 18. A few here and there on a really small WD 40 (#22) and a few on a scud. The rusty midge was consistent when the sun was out and there was a little chop from a breeze. I fished downstream about a 100 yards from the outlet near the pavillion. Lots of quality size. I brought 14 or so to hand and only one dink. Mostly 15-16.

The most interesting part of the trip was a morning hatch of what i think were tricos. I've heard but never seen it. There were lots of fish in very shallow eddies just picking off these tiny white flies as they hit the water. I had nothing small enough to imitate. I got one on a gnat (#18) and one on the tiny WD 40. But these flies had to be #28. Is there a fly that imitates these things?

All in all, great fishing with great weather. I hope the cold snap doesnt last too long. Merry Christmas.
