My friend Eddie Rivard and I hit the Rush today from about 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. Eddie caught six trout — four over 13″, with 18″ his biggest — on a green turd (a variation of an olive woolly bugger). I caught four myself — including one 13″ and one 16″ — on a Euro pheasant tail nymph and zebra midge combo. I caught two on each fly. Fish were in both shallow runs and deep pools. In one pool we saw about a dozen rises and noticed midges on the bank. It was definitely a great day to take advantage of the new early trout season!
