Midge Water

Sorry, I forgot to include an entry on results of my fishing last Sunday.

I hit the water around 1pm. You can see the water in the photo included in this report. Notice the heavy flow adjacent to the soft midge water on the right side of the image. The soft water is about 2 feet deep with slow currents, perfect for trout to move into from the near heavy flows in order to take advantage of midges emerging. It is in this spot I came upon a dozen rainbows head and tail rising to emerging midges. I tied on a Hi Viz Zelon Midge to my 6.5X TroutHunter tippet and took 4 good rainbows in half an hour before my hands got cold and I headed home. We will be tying our Hi Viz Zelon Midge soon so check out our weekly email newsletters for this great fly coming up.

More midge fishing coming later in the week, after it warms from minus 18 degree lows of today!  Stay tuned here.
