I put in at 10:30 a.m. this morning and floated from around I was fishing typical deep-nymphing tactics with a #10
Tungsten Copper John and a #18 BH FB GRHE.� Fish came to both flies at about an
even ratio.� In the course of my 8 � Hr float I landed about two dozen rainbows
and perhaps a dozen whitefish.� In the mix were several bows in the 15-17”
range and two that were right at 18”.� I lost a couple fish later in the
day that I got good looks at that were at least 20”. Weather was better than expected most of the day.� The
morning was quite nice.� In the afternoon there were light showers.� In the
evening it really started pissing rain and I was glad that I was near my
takeout at that point.� Flows were steady between 320-325 cfs.� There wasn’t
a whole lot of hatch activity, as can be expected of the Cedar, but I did note
the occasional PMD, Yellow Sally and Caddis.� I saw *one* big-ol’ Gray drake.� No stoneflies made an
appearance today.� Seining a bit turned up #14-16 reddish brown swimmer mayfly
nymphs, #16-18 black swimmer mayfly nymphs, #18 black clinger mayfly nymphs, small
cased caddis, and even one good size (#12?) Green Rockworm.� Several seining
efforts surprisingly turned up *no*
stonefly nymphs. There were people about, of course, but nothing like opening
day last year.� About the time people were off work the crowd increased a bit.�
Floating made that not a problem though as people were congregated around the
access points and there’s lots of good fishing in between. I consistently catch more and bigger fish on the Cedar than
the Cheers and tight lines. Jim |
