When we arrived the BWO hatch was just ending, but Dad managed to hook one of your bigger fish but he lost it. Then things got really slow for a while. We tried all kinds and sizes of nymphs. The fish would just swim out of the way. We noticed that most of the fish were just holding. There was very little feeding going on. However the larger fish would chase the smaller ones around a little bit. So after lunch Dad worked a purple bunny leech and I stripped a very large Double Bunny. We each hooked one super nice fish and we each lost it! Then it just died again. We continued to throw flies but they weren't moving. About an hour and a half before dark the micro caddis made an appearance and we finally got into some of the smaller fish 14" to 18". The big ones weren't interested. I think the day had a lot to do with the weather, blazing sun all day, they were really spooky. It was nobody's fault but our own that we didn't land any of the big ones. Sight fishing like that is really a lot of fun. We were very impressed that the large fish that we found, (and hooked), were VERY large.
