When they finally consent to talk about fishing.... Since I live only 5 min walk from far river bank, I decided to give it a go. Didn't get any strikes but I think I went too late and used wrong fly, plus shadows already decending. Besides, I just went more for the exercise and to keep my cast chops up. Must be working. No wind knots. Just as I was leaving, I noticed what appeared to be a midge hatch in full bloom. Is that unusual in late Fall? I think I have a couple midge flies. I'll try again tomorrow a bit earlier in the day. nb |

Is that unusual in late Fall? It's not at all unusual. I think I have a couple midge flies. I'll try again tomorrow a bit earlier in the day. Are you talking about dry flies, like Griffith's Gnat? They can work, but if your river has lots of midges and you don't see lots of rises, you'll probably do better with tiny midge nymphs. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

I realize that will require that you be sequestered, heavily sedated, in a safe, protected area from about March 15 until you depart, to prevent the inevitable mishaps with missing or broken members. This is the 10th Penn's Clave upcoming..... Tom |
