fishing in very clear water about a mile south of the the "secret

Here's what this area looks like:

Try tying up a few Madam X's about size 10, all black. I would guess
the fish think they are crickets. Over the past 10 years, this is the
most productive late summer/early fall pattern I have used.

I'll do that. IIRC, we had the same discussion last year at this time. I
always forget about hopper patterns for some reason.

This time of year, banging big dries off the bank can be a lot of fun in that
river. *Far* more fun than the alternative of fishing the fricken' minutiae
that's carried under the dam.

It appears there's very little water coming over the flashboards now
(finally!) Did you happen to get the temperature of the river while you were
shivering in it? ;-)
