We went to the Rush tonight from about 7:00 to 9:00. The stream was very clear, and the last deluge really swept away a lot of the silt that was in this particular spot before. I had three browns to hand and missed a few more on a pheasant tail and zebra midge combo, while Aric caught three browns and two brookies on a pheasant tail and caddis larva combo. Dad tried to catch some on the surface with a beetle pattern and had a few swipes but none to hand. On our way back to the car we noticed a few risers, but it was getting too dark to re-rig, so we just kept walking. We noticed some blue winged olives in the air, so I believe that’s what the fish were after. It looks like we’re going to get a good soaking overnight, so we’ll see how the streams look in the morning.
Also, this will be my last post for a while, and Aric will be taking over the duties. I’m leaving for Southern Iowa Monday for an internship at Midwest Whitetail. It should be a great opportunity to expand my knowledge of outdoor videography and photography, and hopefully help me find a job in the outdoor industry! I will post links on here and Facebook to some of the projects I’m working on throughout the internship. If you like whitetails, check out MidwestWhitetail.com. It is a great site to learn more about hunting strategies and see some nice bucks!
