1-6 report

[Skeeter ZX190]

Went to Baptist Camp and headed downstream so I could work my way back.  Kind of a tough day for me.  I caught 6 total, 4 browns and 2 rainbows.  Hit a lot  of good looking water but bites were few and far between.  The rainbows came on a size 20 blue wing olive nymph while the browns came on size 12 rust colored nymph.  One of the browns was 15 1/2 while another one was my personal best for Missouri, a 19 incher.  It put up quite a battle.  I thought several times it was going to wrap me up in a downed tree.

I'll try to take a close up picture of them.

Here is the size 12 in rust.  My formula is:

Wood duck flank feathers for the tail.  Rubbing is small copper wire.  The body is rust colored antron yarn made by Hairline.  I put some flashback on and ice dub in peacock black for the thorax.  Tungsten bead in copper.  I'm euro nymphing so I tie on a dropper tag above my anchor fly (the size 12 rust nymph) and that's where I put on the blue wing olive nymph.  Sometimes I put on a ruby midge.

Sweet.  Looks like something they'd eat, for sure.  .

Thx

I fished Meramec Springs on Friday.  Bite was off there also, but like you caught some here and there.
