Beav. was low and clear-clear, but not many bugs or rising fish. It was, and is, time for the Brown Drakes. When I got to the parking lot and saw one on the shitter door handle, I figured that was a good sign. There's still a few big fish that live in the slow flats of Millionaires. There weren't a ton of drakes, but just enough to get a few fish up. Caddis and PMD's is mostly what they were eating though, and not too regularly at that. I got two nice fish early on a caddis, and two late ones on the size 10 softy. What joy to use such a thing, and nearly get to the end of my backing twice.
Jim: Great start to season. Some dam nice trout!

Now I'm fishing sparse #18s and 20s again. Big bugs are a luxury.
