Fantastic top action from 1pm until about 530, all fish keyed on the big grey hendricksons, though they were sporadic. Probably could have done just as well on a wet, but the dry action was too fun to pass up.

Interesting, I fished up above Benton and there was little or no sign of life. Same day, same time frame, beautiful water, few bugs, no rises, nothing on nymphs, nothing on wets.

This whole season has been bizarre. The hatches are about near a month off. One stretch of the creek has one hatch, then a mile down the road it's another hatch.
