12-26 report

[Skeeter ZX190]

Took advantage of the super nice weather and gave Bennett a try.  Lots of people had the same idea.  Fished from 10:00 am until 2:30 pm and caught just north of 40.  My most productive fly was a size 20 Eagan's Thread Frenchie with a 2.4 mm tungsten bead fished under a foam caddis.  All but about 5 came on the nymph.  I finished the day at the end of the park close to the old wooden bridge.  There was a young man just downstream of me and I could tell he was struggling.  He hadn't caught anything so I gave him a few of my thread frenchies and told him how to fish it.  He didn't have an indicator so I went to my truck and got him one of mine.  In a matter of about 30 minutes he had caught 5.  I was pleased, and I think he was too.
