Finally . . . seems like it now, maybe due to changing/cooling weather, or time of year, or just because for no reason. Yesterday evening had lots of tiny baetis in all forms just below town. This morning in the same place started out cold, and so was the river until about 11-11:30, then baetis galore. Best hatch I've seen. Some Mahoganies mixed in too. The fish were not all that on the bugs though. Les called it "funky." Yep, the light, the foam, the currents, the fish, it just never felt quite "right." I should have caught a bunch though. Didn't happen. Poor execution, a little frustration I let get to me, and one layer underdressed that contributed to both. Bugs were mostly the little bwo's, the bug formerly known as Pseudo, but a few of the bigger ones mixed in. Just not a lot of bigger targets, and they'd be up, and then just quit. Tomorrow's another day as they say. Sleep in a little, make breakfast, no rush.
