Fishing Report 09/10

[JobyKSU]

I've fished Beaver this weekend and this morning.

Saturday in the cascading sheets of rain was a blast. I had my hands in the water on fish all day long. Nothing huge, but a couple of 14 inchers that fought like they meant it.

This morning was a bit slower, but Baby Browns were on the menu. My first 5 were 8 to 10 inch browns. They hit nymphs drifted deep behind mid-stream structure. Finished off the morning with a few decent 'bows and then headed off to the office.

Catch of the weekend was a poor, bewildered 2 inch sculpin. I thought I had caught my nymph on a leaf through the riffles, but the poor little guy had a hold on it and went for a ride. He was none-the-worse for the ride, though, and skittered off quickly.

Flies that worked included just about any zebra midge, sizes 18 and 20. Especially effective were white and red R&R's. When fishing slowed, adjusting depth was very effective to draw more hits.

Good to here things are good on the Beaver "T" waters. I haven't been there for a while, were there very many people fishing around you?

Hearing some good reports from my fishing guide buddies using the same patterns you mentioned. Beaver "T" is pretty solid on those patterns. Thanks for the update.
