Caught the water as it was going down from generation today.  Got the tail end of  a Blue Winged Olive Hatch.  Fish were sipping duns pretty well. These BWO’s were size 20-21. Got away with a size 20 BWO Thorax dy fly.

Caught four fish 16+” inches on the dry. The fish right now are “Hot”.  Had 6X flourocarbon on and was glad to have it on. These fish were so on fire, I could not have landed them on 7X . Am convinced of that today. The browns have fattened up since spawning and are on  fire. You know within seconds they are browns. For they begin the head shaking quickly.  The rainbows are true Holston Rockets right now. They are acrobatic tigers.

Had about 2 hours of dry fly fishing. Then the fish went to midges. Finished up with a Loop wing midge dropped below a dry. Caught several on it before quitting for the day.

There is nothing like dry fly fishing , is there?
