| The Contented Angler Amy & Joe Gablick "Where fly fishing is still an honorable pastime." |
May 14, '08 - A nice day in May just cool enough for long sleeves.
This is the time to fish the March Brown emergence. We knew it
was the wrong time of day, but you have to fish when you can.
Water was 52 degrees and the strong flow was keeping the fish on
the bottom. With the cloud cover, the water wouldn't reach 55 until
afternoon, but the fishing was good just the same, thanks to the
work of those who did the stocking.
There is still time to fish the March Brown hatch. 55 degree water
will bring it on. Don't wait to see a rise, they will take every one that
you toss at them.

With all the hits we were getting, I have to believe that
every fish in the pools we fished hit the CA Nature
Pupa.
