A very good day

Wed. was a very good day on Fishing Creek, cold and windy was the norm which made it hard  some times to follow your leader/stream junction effectively but hey that is life. Took a lot of fish but most of them on the smaller size on a #16 tung. bead pheasant tail and a B or a BB shot. I have in the past been guilty of not really paying attention to the amount of lead (yes I use lead and like it) I have used and have not been at time down where I need to be, I guess just lazy or looking for the top water action. Saw a few other fellows out but did not bump into anyone else, I chose the right place to fish to avoid anyone else. The sun came out in the afternoon but I only saw a few midges and a couple of small stoneflies about, no olives but did not expect to see them in the sun. I did not see any signs of the annual Grannom migration yet but if the water warms up a bit we should see them in the next few weeks. Grannom emergence in the morning then Hendrickson's in the afternoon followed by Grannom egg laying later with maybe a few Red Quill spinners to end the day!
  Yes the water was high but not blown out and typical wading conditions, slippery and cold! This will be very busy in the next few weeks till the official opening day then the pressure tapers off, you will have to drive up or down the canyon and take the first available parking spot of if you don't it might be gone.
