As you know, I rail against the crowds on the Swift but at the same time I appreciate them. Without crowded spots we would not have empty spots. It seems that fly fishers seem to like the safety of the flock which explains the Y Pool. It gives one a chance to talk rods, reels, flies, trips and so on. "That's all they do is talk" was the response of one well known regional fly fisher. I'm friendly on the stream BUT I don't search people out.
ONE DAY LATER - At 8am the Pipe Lot was empty, the Pipe was empty and the Tree Pool was empty. I spent the next two hours in Cady Lane and saw NOBODY!!! I caught trout!
A Generic Emerger
Size 24 wide gap hook a small fly on a big hook
Olive thread for the body
Fine grey post wing synthetic material
brown or olive dubbing for the thorax.
Regardless of the species of mayfly ALL mayflies start to look the same in the small sizes. You can match up the colors but I think it doesn't make a difference. You will want plenty of these for this Fall on the Millers and the Swift when BWO arrive!!!
We Need Rain
The EB is low but still holds trout in certain places. The Millers, as I write, appears to be all screwed up with a massive release yesterday and an 87 cfs trickle so far today. If anyone knows what's going on I would appreciate knowing about it.
