First Fish Of The Year On A Mayfly 21Mar24

It was a very good day fishing on the PT. The weather was stupendous; the bite was on; I saw my 1st mayflies of the season; I caught gobs of fish. I went to the Nature Center and hit the river as 2nd person at 9am. I was immediately into nice cutbows at the farm and farm-across, and continued to do well at the big weir and hook weir all morning... I did not wander from these spots and was alone at them till noon! Most of my catch was on a blood midge or a grey Pop Top. About 11am I noted a smallish BWO in the air and tied on my Destiny's Child imitation. It worked well and I caught a couple of 18"-19" cutbows on it. The spawn seems to be waning with less action on the redds than on my last stop here. However, the fish still have great colors and are very strong. I took the Rodfather T5 hoping for even larger fish. I lost more than half my pics due to my failure to not delete them.
