Notes
Lots of moths were out on the water in the morning, forming their own little hatch, and the trout and whitefish were going bonkers for them. I was finally able to get into some cutthroats while also catching plenty of whitefish on the surface. I later switched to nymphs to catch a few bigger whitefish in a run, and succeeded in catching an 18" whitey.
