I hit the Kinni for a short outing this evening from about 7:45 to 9:15. Using an Ice Dub Pheasant Tail and Zebra Midge, I was able to bring 8-10 fish to hand, and lose many more. Nothing very big tonight, with the best being a 10-incher, while I lost another that was around 11-12″. Most of the fish were caught on the midge.
The midges were out in full force and the fish were definitely rising to them, but I didn’t feel like re-rigging to a tiny fly and opted to stay with the nymph rig. I only saw a couple caddis flying around throughout the evening, but did talk to another fisherman that had some success fishing an X-Caddis. With the warmer weather coming over the next few days, the caddis should really start popping off, giving us some great dry fly action!
