Notes
I drove past the Rock Garden without stopping in order to get to the Crapper Hole as soon as possible. Fish were already rising pretty good in the slackwater off the main current. Fishing was consistent throughout the evening but never spectacular, perhaps because I missed so many fish. I came up empty on many rises, and for awhile was fishing a clear wing spinner as a dropper off the thorax fly and on a handful of occasions, the spinner sank and I would see my thorax dun start to dart sideways as the fish had taken the sunken spinner. I was never able to hook any of those fish.
All in all a good night with 11 browns. I think the PMDs are getting a bit smaller, perhaps #18 is the most predominant size.

How would a guy find out where all these holes are on the Owyhee? I have always heard of people talking about them.
