Notes

There were alot of caddis bouncing on the water, but not many fish rising (probably taking emergers)....We caught only a few fish on dry flies, but a caddis-prince dropper rig was deadly. Fish consistently took prince nymph. Most of the water we fished was not that great (shallow, fast), but there were lots of small, eager fish in this water. Fished one good pool-run that was loaded with fish...probably caught 6 fish from this hole on 10 casts. If I could have found a stretch of river with lots of bends, deep pools, and runs I would have caught more fish and bigger fish.
