Rush River 4.13.16

I was back on the Rush this evening from about 4:00-6:30. The fishing was pretty slow, with about 12-15 fish to hand, but all under 10″. The clear skies definitely didn’t help. I had more success in shaded areas. I started out with a size 16 Euro pheasant tail and size 20 zebra midge, but after the first two runs switched to a size 16 ice dub pheasant tail and size 18 WD-40. The majority of the fish took the midge and WD-40.

This WD-40 was responsible for most of the fish to hand.

Tons of midges and a couple BWOs were in the air, but there were only sporadic rises throughout the evening. Water was low and crystal clear.
