We fished the Rush today from about 10:00 to 12:30. Between the two of us we caught 12-15 browns and one brookie. Most were pretty small, but Aric was able to catch one about 11 or 12″. They were all on a hot spot pheasant tail and ice cream cone midge combo, with most hitting the midge. I also tried stripping a streamer through a few pools and moved a couple fish (including one about 15″), but couldn’t get any to commit. There were a lot of midges coming off, but we didn’t spot any rises.
It seemed like the others we talked to on the river were having success on small nymphs and midges as well. With this warmer weather, the fishing should only get better over the next few days.
