We fished the Rush River this morning from about 8:30 to 10:30. I caught three browns and a brookie while missing a couple more on a hot spot pheasant tail and zebra midge rig. Aric started off using an olive “Frick’s Fix” and caught a 16-inch brown — his biggest to date — in the first pool. He nymphed the next run and caught a 13-inch brown and a smaller brookie on a zebra midge.
There were quite a few fish rising to midges but we didn’t feel like re-rigging after having success nymphing. We caught trout in riffles, runs, and deep pools. Overall, a great morning on the Rush!
