Fished with Larry from Maine on 4/18fishing was spotty but we manage to hook a few on nymphs. First good day of bugs on the West Branch. A mix of stoneflies, caddis, Quill Gordons, Blue Quills, Bateis, and just a few Hendricksons. Only saw a few sporadic risers.
Water was gin clear and dropping all day, it made it tough to throw streamers, although we worked hard at it. Small nymphs were the best today with a small copper john hooking 2 fish for us. Not bad for the first trip of the year...
However our best fish of the day came on a large black stonefly nymph.
The water is real low we need rain bad!
Hendrickson will be pouring off in the next week to ten days so you will want to be here for that.
the water was gin clear? so very poetic. I think i will be stealing that little number.
