Air temp 67
Water temp 39
Fished 10:30 to 12:30

Bright sunshine

Found some deeper holes in shaded areas. Brought two to the net and released immediately. Saw many fish. Used a white strymph, zebra midge, bwo nymph, and black stonefly nymph. Mostly 18 to 22.

The stream is very healthy with lots of vegetation. The water was very clear. This was my first time on this stream and will be back.

My guess is the zebra midge and #18 stonefly

 

[tewart]

Yes in deed

 

[geebee]

well done, it is not easy to catch there.

Thanks, stealth was key using a 3wt and 6 to 7x mirage leaders

Very tough stream that requires a delicate approach, much like the Letort. Once you "unlock" her secrets, life becomes better, but those two streams are tops in my book for difficulty.
