Notes

The Pump House riffles proved to be good for nymphing once again. I landed 5 in the area with a big of 20" and had 3 more on, one that was probably around 20". Zak and I fished the riffles for about an hour and a half then went down to the RH flats to spot risers. I caught one fish that was rising somewhat consistently, but the rest of the time was spent either waiting for the wind to chill out or wondering why the fish weren't rising. We hit one other spot about 3 miles down from the tunnel at dusk and fished the wrong stretch. Just below us 100 yards there were lots of fish rising, but where we were there were only a handful of sporadic risers.
