Wildcat access 11/18

[netboy]

I launched the boat at Wildcat ramp this morning in a thick fog and ran up to a nice shoal area and then got out and waded. There were some BWO's hatching when I got there and I caught 4 rainbows and a small brown on a size 20 BWO. Once the sun burned the fog off the hatch stopped. I switched back to the egg/midge combo and had some pretty good action. Caught quite a few rainbows, a decent brown and 1 cutthroat.

Here's a couple of the better rainbows. They were colored up for the spawn and dropping milt when I removed the hook.

Love those spawn colors.  Be there in a few weeks and I can't wait!

My largest Rainbow was caught below Tucker Shoals and one of my favorite places to fish. 45 years ago one could see pods of 8-10# Browns (and larger) holed up at Tucker, days gone by. Glad you had a great day, nothing better that dry fly action.

People are always skeptical when I talk about the fishery back then.  👍
