finally escaped the yard work, and hangover post-derby winnings, and
headed
to the Tully to fish a bit this afternoon. Little was hatching, and few
fish
were feeding when I arrived at 3. Managed a small one on a sulfur nymph, a
couple more on tan wets. The fish started to rise, and sulfurs and tan
caddis were flying about, still pretty sparsely. After failing miserably
on
a variety of dries and surface emergers, I returned to a pair of wets. In
this case, a #14 sulfur on the point, and a #18 olive starling on the
dropper. The fish went berserk for a couple of hours on this pairing,
taking
the olive at least equally often as the sulfur(perhaps it looks like a
midge?). I landed a very nice Tully rainbow, and two sizeable browns along
with a lot of small trout. Left when leader repair was needed (about 8 pm)
with trout still rising all over the stream. Never did get one to take a
dry.......

Nice report Tom. BTW, the fish in the Perky finally figured out what the
mayflies were, now just need to get the pattern down. caught a couple more
at dusk last night, nice Hendrickson spinner fall last night, but figured it
out too late.

Go Barbaro!!
