Well, the hoppers aren't gone, the brush and grass are still full of them, but the water didn't have any. Sunny, calm, and only an occasional riser. A few times I found a fish or two that came up twice if I waited long enough. Hooked five good ones on the hopper, which I kept tied on all day. Landed two, weeded by three, deep enough into the weeds to leave me only with the fly and 5 pounds of weeds connected to the 3X. The hopper might turn into a one-timer bug this time of year though. Its starting to feel like time to move on. Been here a week now. Gotta do a quick trip home in a few days. The mayflies are sparse, to put it mildly. Hard to leave the tank rainbows.
Oh, today's the 15th. The Ranch re-opens in 9 more months!

| Fished it all day. Five eats. I'll tie it with a slightly lighter colored foam, the wing a tad more to the side, some small front legs, and a couple of rear kickers, and it'll kick rear. It did pretty good as is! |
