The show ended Saturday and I was itching to go fishing. The rivers were all blown, so we headed for a couple of stillwater places. Weather was fantastic, as was the fishing. NYMPHS were the ticket.

Sunday….

Monday on our way home:

All fish were released safely to fight another day......

A long awaited day of CHIRONOMID fishing…..

Found a little ice free water and put the Chironies to the test.











Chironomids of choice today were a #12 with red rib and a white bead plus my standby that is a #16 Black bead, black with white wire. Both flies got hit equally.
























I even had a few Albinos that wanted to come out and play…
