June 5/6 & 12/13 Reports

[NYMPH~o---]

Hit the Current on June 5th and 6th for an overnight float and fish from Baptist to Cedar with a group of four of us. Fishing was a little slow but each of us avoided the skunk and landed nice fish between 15-17 inches. Friends used Panther Martins - black/yellow spots and gold with orange marabou. On the fly, I hit with a white thread jig and a peach egg (my go-to's after a really slow first day). 

Was fortunate enough to go back the next week with the Mrs. and the fishing picked up a bit with the fly rod. Hit on home tied midges mostly - size 16. White thread, bright colored ribbing, and sometimes a little flash back - with or without a bead head were the popular patterns. Landed a dozen or so including a 16 inch bow at Ashley Creek that was a fun fight.
