The opposite of last year's low, autumn-like flows. In face of such conditions, we tied on attractors and began working our way down from the cabins. Well, that is what I though for a while. Through the next hour not another fish rose, or was seen. Maybe Saturday morning would be better.
Hatches are dependent on proper water temperatures.
I measured in several places through the weekend. ONLY, the trout are reluctant to come to the surface when there aren't bugs to draw them from their lies in the runs or under the cut banks. The usually successful attractors, such as the Royal Trude and Humpy, were ignored. A very few fish were seen rising, and they to very small emergers in slack water. When a trout has a long time to examine the fly, the fly has to be a perfect match or it will be refused.
