Norfork on March 12

Fished Norfork with my dad on Thursday afternoon. Only my second time fishing the Norfork. Got to the Ackerman access around 1pm. The first few hours were pretty slow using a double nymph rig with various midge patterns. Walked up to the island and caught a few small rainbows from the faster water. Then it started to rain and pretty much everyone left. The rain let up around 4pm and then we went out as the fog was setting in. Catching started to get pretty good using a pink and red beaded san juan worm and a grey scud as a dropper. Caught probably 10-15 in a hour with that setup. They were hitting both flies. I also had my first double rainbow.

I miss this river...

Sounds like you and your dad had a great time - good on ya'!

We always took our rain gear 'cause most folks will leave the river if it starts to rain - and it seems that it really tuns the fish on.

Here's a shot of my son downstream from Ackerman's when we used to fish the Norfork.

Nice shot.
