February 14th, 2010:
While many would be concerned with going fishing on Valentines Day, we decided to throw caution to the wind for the chance at some fish on a quick float before the water was cut off for the afternoon. The weather was clear but chilly so as the water was falling fish were rising everywhere. I was trying out some new emerger patterns with good success to match up with the Blue Wing Olives on the surface. We caught fish well on nymphs and on drys as well as a few good follows on streamers.
After the water fell out, we were able to head back up river and do some wade fishing up high. We picked up several more fish before calling it a day. With time enough left over to pick up flowers on the way home it was a pretty good day on the water. I really look forward to what this spring will bring.
