Slow Fishin' The PT with DD 05Apr14

Fishin' was kind of slow but I got to go with DD so that was special. Daryle netted the first fish though she was no brute (took a pheasant tail). I personally must've been slow as well on this 50 degree cloudy day as I went 1 for 6 in the morning session and lost too many rigs! We both did. We fished upstream from Valco parking again and fortunately crowds were modest for a Sat. I had some nice fish on but did remote releases on many - even ones which I had close to net. Oh well. I was also attempting sub-surface movies and "need practice" is generous. The PM fared better for me with a 4 for 5 landing pace including one decent 17.5"er. While the fish were hard to see for us we got lots to look at at 3pm when a nice BWO hatch brought great fish up on emergers and duns... I tied on the requisite dry-dropper rig using my new hackle-stacker biot body BWO and an RS2 dropper but I must've had the wrong colors or sizes as I missed it all despite deft prestentation... it was exciting nonetheless to be mid-hatch on home waters in springtime again. What did work were sub-surface olive and grey-brown midges in several styles including my variants of Krystal flasher and Smethurst's midge as well as my flash loop wing RS2 in the PM.
