Hi Oz,
Who said fishing was just about catching fish. Enjoy the rest of your trip
and all the "little bonus' on the way. The best thing is having a front row
seat. I experienced a spectacular sunrise with the kids this morning from
home, brilliant reds and oranges. After the initial "wow", I yearned to be
fishing.

Water was WAY down below the dam on the White this morning.

Temp hit 100 yesterday with humidity in the 70's.

Water temp was mid 40's.

A bit of fog on the water.

Yeah..........a bit.

Fog was about 25 or so feet deep, and visibility was about 15-20 feet
in it. From above, it looked like the river valley was full of snow.

Standing in the water, with herons croaking and fish slapping the
surface here and there, it was very serene.

When the sun came up, I was surrounded by a rainbow. All around me.
The APPARENT width of the color bars was about 3 ft each.

I had never experienced this before, but remember relatives talking
about foggy mountain tops producing a phenomenon called a "glory". I
don't know if this was one, but it was glorious, and lasted about an
hour and a half, until the fog (mostly) burned off.

Oh.........caught a few, and broke off a large(ish) one on an orange
stimulator, size 10, in an area where only the microscopic zebras and
sow bugs usually work.

Will try again tomorrow, if I get up early enough after watching the
Perseids.

cheers
