I love the challenge, despite the rejection. I love the clarity, despite the spooky fish. I love long, light tippets, despite the "wind" knots. I love small flies, even if I can't see the bastards half of the time. The hatches are short, but usually thick, and they bring up pods of noses on this most difficult spring creek. Tricos in the morning, and PMD's late afternoon through evening. Its a fitting end to a 5-week swing through my favorite waters.
