Rush River 3.11.16

I fished the Rush today from about 1:30 to 4:30. The stream has really cleared up since earlier this week. I was able to net 8 fish and miss a handful more. My two biggest were 12 and 9-inch brookies, while the rest were under 6″. I missed one brown that was probably 13+ inches. The whole time I used a hotspot pheasant tail and ice cream cone midge rig, with probably 2/3 of the fish taking the midge. All were caught in runs in about 2-3 feet of water.

I talked to two others that had similar luck — lots of small fish on midges and other nymphs.
