Clear-Low-Steady-Nice Arkansas River Tailwater on Warm-Cloudy-Windy Day -19Nov13

The BWO hatch was "on" with cloudy skies and great river conditions. Flows ~100cfs for 5 days now, temp of 64 degrees, visibility about three feet, water cool but not cold. I arrived late AM and noticed the cool water and cloudy skies but air temp was ok even in the AM. The best bugs were BWOs: tung BH black ice and tung BH olive vinyl #18 , mercury glass head RS2s #20-22 and both parachute and Barr's dry BWOs in #20. I haven't fished dry for a while so that was fun during the hatch... biggest fish were caught beneath though. Cheeseman emerger also worked as very well as did small black red glass head mojo midge emerger and small rainbow warrior. I started with some losses and even rig steals but calmed to catch many fish today floating the rig from riffle into the runs. Wind messed up the PM a bit for 2 hrs but I hung in there and was productive throughout. Quite a few folks out there today but I sense I was doin' more catching. Caught a 20" and 18" as well as a gob of 16-17" rainbows... shown are a sample.
