Coming to your neighborhood soon.

 Having met my contractual minimum daily word requirement with the "Tell me Why?" offering, the fishing report can, comparatively speaking, be short and sweet. The freestones are alive and well with black caddis, sulfurs (well after dark tonight) and gray foxes.  There is also an opportunity in the am for spinner fishing.  However, with the temp predicted to be well into the 80s tomorrow most of the hatching will be after dark. The best hope is for the big bugs to hold off until the front comes through and cools things down.  If they hatch Friday and Saturday it will , in all likelihood, be in broad daylight. 

The fishing - Today was not as good as you would like it, but not as bad as it could have been.  Fished the BR in the morning for a couple of hours.  Hooked and lost two nice rainbows and hooked and landed two nice browns.  Basically took the day off, drove up and down the river system mid afternoon and never saw a bug on the water or a rise.  The fishermen at Power Line Pool and at Long Flats on the UEB will have their fun in the next week to ten days but not right now. There were lots of fishermen on the BK in the Cooks Falls/Horton Brook area and I assume up closer to Roscoe but no one was fishing downstream of barrel pool. Unbelievably, there was a drift boat on the EB going under the 97 bridge at about 3:30 in the red hot sun.  Never got on the stream until after 7:15 tonight as my first three spots were taken. By 8:00 I was wishing that the fourth had been taken too. By 8:15 there were a few splashy risers that wouldn't give a fly on the surface a look.  By 8:30 the black caddis started to appear in numbers. At 8:45 the first noses started to appear as fish started eating both caddis and mayflies (sulfurs I think) off the surface. At 9:15 I was back in the car with a big smile on my face.

Hope for cold weather, bring warm clothes and be here as many of the next ten days as you can. Sometime in 10 days it will all happen.
