Pretty much a replay, only fishing a different run, the "baetis riffle" as I call it. Or, the little log jam. Good all morning after 10, and there were some nice ones in the flat and tail out below it. Same stuff. Better pictures, I think? The clear spring creek water makes it a lot easier, and I'm trying to get better with the underwater stuff since its warm outside. Easier on the fish too.

| Lighter wing on the Hanger worked great. Highly visible on both dark and light background. Its really an old English fly, the Shuttlecock, but I like Hanger better. Thread and a couple of CDC feathers. Simpler than a soft hackle? Close. |

| The take and the fish of the day was right there |
 |
| It shined again, especially later in the hatch and in the afternoon on the tail out. I love simplicity. Partridge and Yellow. That's it. No juju, bead head, rainbow, disco, flash, emergent, holographic bull shit. Just Partridge and Yellow. |

| I'm getting there with the in and out shot. Now, for exposure, metering, better framing, and all that. With a pocket camera and tiny lens. Hey, its possible. I'll keep trying. |
