Notes

Wind sucks. It was very very windy all night. A few fish tried sipping in the slackwater along the crapper hole and I was able to catch a few of those few, but the wind made casting a joke and prevented a good PMD spinner fall. Caddis hatched in the evening and I had some hits to my skating caddis but never connected. Rough, frustrating night.

I see you use a Yellow Foamy on Kelly Creek in the Fall. What is a Yellow Foamy?

It's just a yellow humpy, but instead of deer or elk hair for the pull-over hump, I use tan foam.
