I wish I could tell you what the trout keyed in on, but I know as soon as they did, I stopped catching them. Just prior to this storm, it was like someone flipped a switch. They were rising all around me, but I had nothing they wanted.<br /><br />The only insect I saw in the water looked like a midge - that couldn't be it. Any ideas?Josephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-9324365010151125342009-07-16T19:35:30.950-04:002009-07-16T19:35:30.950-04:00Al: No problem crossing, up about half way between...Al: No problem crossing, up about half way between the house and the RR bridge.<br /><br />David: I tried a Prince on and off all afternoon Weds.,<br />but no takers.

Eventually took a brown on a prince nymph. Water temps were good with the previous rains.

Tried everything in the fly box, but no success.

The thorax is dark olive using a buggy material like hare's ear or australian possum. Two natural CDC feathers are tied in as a post slanting forward at a 45 degree angle to the hook shank. I tie in the cdc before the thorax.<br /><br />KenMillers River Flyfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834066906971183890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-10459560209667987762009-07-16T07:48:37.638-04:002009-07-16T07:48:37.638-04:00Thanks for the great report.I have been out there ...Thanks for the great report.I have been out there often over the past few weeks and generally do well (by my lower standards). For the first time, I hiked about a mile and a half from the barrier last night and fished my way back.

I went out there on sunday and walked further down than ever before, although i unfortunately caught no fish. Not much activity.. no hatches. I was there in the middle of the day though. Finally the millers is fishable. I was wondering if you would be willing to share your olive emerger recipe?<br /><br />thanksUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627838661448152521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-86278646873577030232009-07-15T20:39:58.874-04:002009-07-15T20:39:58.874-04:00digger - Anything below 600cfs is good for an adeq...digger - Anything below 600cfs is good for an adequate wader on the Millers.
