Winter (2430cfs)

Got a new toy, a nice one.  Had to try it.  Not much sunlight in the canyon these days.  No hatch.  A tiny little midge here and there.  Some skinny risers in the scum holes, which didn't even have much scum.  Some of them pulled back, a few jumped.  Still ok for mid-November.  It wasn't blowing.  There wasn't ice in my guides.  I have rising fish 45 minutes from home every day of the year, so I can't bitch, right?  A rising trout is a rising trout.  They ate too.  A few hours of this now and then will hold me until the spring baetis start and the healthy fish rise again. 

Hardy on a Hardy!

#20

Used this #24!  What the hell?  They ate it too.
