I had a lovely summer morning on the Little J today. I left home about 5:30 AM and enjoyed the fog and the sunrise on the way there. Walking along the stream I believe I saw my first pair of river otters. Does anyone know for sure if otters are in the J? Later I saw a mink, so I know they weren't mink.
Stream temp seemed to be low 60s. There were sporadic rises as I was getting on the stream between 7:30 and 8. Steady rises during the trico spinner fall between about 8:30 and maybe 10. This was my first time fishing tricos. It was fun catching fish on these tiny little flies (22-24, honest Chaz there were some 22s). I broke a couple off because I'm not used to fishing 6X tippet anymore. As the morning progressed, I did pretty well with black ants. I left about 12:30. What a nice morning!
