Notes

Tried new spots today and fished the streamer while we floated. The log hole produced 2 fish. Did not change nymphs much, dad did not let me experiment much when we stopped. Fish rose throughout the day there was no hatch that I could tell. They were probably taking emergers. After we finished floating I waded at the afterbay. There were many fish rising so I switched to a dry fly setup. I had a 9' leader and 4x tippet. The fish were spooked each time I cast. Overall good day.
