Dirt in the Works... Arki BHSC 06Aug13

With the flows >600cfs and recent rains, visibility and wading were pretty scant on the Arkansas in Big Horn Sheep Canyon. Still, I caught ten 10-13in browns around Pinnacle Rock this morning. #14 yellow simulators and Joe's hoppers worked up top and a couple new variants of BH pheasant tail I tied worked on dropper. Fuzzy brown mercury head Smethhurt's midge worked too as bottom dropper. Funny thing though... trillions of tiny olive gnats bugged me all morning - they got into every orifice. I couldn't cross so only worked the near bank... I'm really waiting for the fall flows so I can access the whole river again.
