. Started out at sunup at ball field and walked down the tracks as the water is super low and clear and the upper and middle would be bone dry. First hole had a couple lookers at the barely legal but too small to eat. Then switched to olive and black bugger and game on. Managed a few here and there but nothing too hot. Switched to double nymph drop shot rig with frenchie and scud and caught five or six dinks in short order . The kid I took with me caught his first trout on this one. Kept moving as water was very skinny and any wrong move ou r loud noise spooked the holes. Made it to the spot where I have best luck and was rewarded with merely good excercise as the fish here were less than willing.  So started walk backup.  On the way we noticed that the spots we came through on the way down that we void were now teeming with fish. Most of them keying into small stoneflies that were just every where. Size 18 little brown stones I estimate.  I tied on closest thing I had... old reliable elk hair caddis. Very technical casting and approach lead to first dry fly fish. This would be repeated consistently the test of the walk all the way up into the park.  Nice fish were moving on the fly but a lot of refusals from the big girls.  Overall probably a 20 plus fish day.  I am going to have to tie up some smaller caddis as I think this would really have slayed them .
