of falls. Hooked up a twenty inch rainbow and quickly lost it......two
pound tippet just won't do for some things.

Jay and Patty discovered that the various pools in the Falls river are a
favorite hot weather hangout for local teenagers. Oh well.....another
time.


Damn. That sounds like the 20-inch rainbow that I hooked and lost in
Snowbird! :-)

Yeah, probably the same one.

You should have asked the teenagers how they deal with the blackflies. I
suspect they must have been particularly vulnerable . . .

Black flies weren't out yet......at least not anywhere that we went
this weekend. As a matter of fact, both they and deer flies tend to be
highly localized. We encountered neither in any significant numbers
other than the deer flies already mentioned in that one place in the
original report. This is not to say that they won't be there
anytime.....hell, a day later they could be out in force.

I have no idea whether it's generally true, but in my experience,
neither does well in close proximity to human settlements.....even the
smallest village or subdivision seems to be anathema to them......um,
the flies that is......not teenagers.
