Thursday, Jul 5, 2012Quote(s) of the Day: "He ate it...SET...fish on!"
Fishing Highlights:
The fish were eating hard all day. We had a few come up to dries, but most took soft hackles on a nymph rig. With the water dropping the big fish are getting easier to see so site fishing to the big boys has been a blast. Getting them to the net has been a different story, but today we netted a few.The fishing is fantastic. Overcast skies and 60+ degree weather. The water temperature was between 52-55 degrees and Crystal Clear.
