So when I was out in the rain the other day the COE staff was doing some monitoring. He was logging water temps at 20C, down from a season high of 28. I sure could tell the fish are getting into the fall feeding mode. Fished a olive willy, followed 3 ft. by a black simileech, followed 3ft. by an olive simileech.
Just on fire. Had several triples on, but only landed doubles.
The olive willy was the best of that set.
After this dude bent out the black leech
I rerigged the last 2 flies with soft hackles. The tellico nymph was as good as the willy, accounted for a lot of trout.
Kids are gone, and I skipped church to fish. Just a great morning before the air gets too hot. I think the fish think fall is here.
