Notes

Nice day. 75 degrees and sunny. Not much of a hatch to speak of other than the usual midges, but even the midge hatch was pretty tame. There was the occasional sporadic rise but nothing consistent. Nice to get some action on the chironocone. Saw some large (size 12) shucks.

At dusk the size 16 black ZM w/white gills did well. Jason had even better success on a size 16 black chironocone. Try similar black/white patterns under low light conditions.
