Wednesday, Oct 24, 2012Quote(s) of the Day: "What a day."
Fishing Highlights:
The snow storm held off just long enough for us to sneak in a fantastic day of fishing. The bite was a little slow at first but picked up quickly and stayed consistent into the afternoon. Small midge dry fly patterns were very productive as long as they would stay hooked on the size #22 hook. The day finished with multiple six pound plus fish in the net within 20 minutes. What a day!The fishing is fantastic. Overcast skies and 36-39 degree weather. The water temperature was between 36-39 degrees and Crystal Clear.
