Headed out to Clarks yesterday, it poured so hard on the way there, cars were pulled off of 83, 81, and 322 because you just couldn't see to drive faster than 30 m.p.h. I figured I'd just fish closer to the dam because the water would be clearer, I was right. On the way up through the water was chocolate milk but cleared upsteam near the dam.

I brought my big camera but left it in the truck mostly because of rain. I felt a little squirrely so I tied on a mickey fin and missed a small wild brown with it, then proptly lossed it. I had some follows with an olive beadhead bugger. I found some great vegetation in a few spots so I switched to crayfish and scuds. I also used some soft hackle hears ears.

Ended up catching three brookies, two on a crayfish and one on a molded rubber-like translucent scud pattern. I got soaked but it was a good day.

Fished Clark yesterday and today. A lot more action yesterday. The fish definitely keying into inch worms. Saw several fish jump to get them. Beetles worked well for me as well as a small stimulator and hopper.

I would def. sport both the hat and the euro sticker.

I already got a free hat from The Feathered Hook fly shop in Coburn, courtesy of a PAFF member. I am wearing it now.

And a thanks to Jack for having a spare mantle for my lantern at the Jam, it's been through plenty of use this year and still holding up.

Love the site Dave, I'll be around here for a while.
