Launched at Byington did not make it up to spring creek.
There were salmon flies hatching but not large numbers. Yellow Sallies where everywhere and indeed are olive in color when we started around 11am.
Fish took salmon flies in water where fish weren't rising. It was great. Later in the day yellow sallies with orange stimulators were doing very well. Then towards sunset we were being entertained by caddis-taking fish as the mosquitos proceeded to punish us.
It was a great day of dry fly fishing. Best I've ever -experienced. The salmon-fly-taking-fish are a blast.
On one occasion as I was tying a tandem setup...a splash near me caught my attention....a huge fish swam next to my legs in knee high water....at first glance I thought it was a beaver and spooked me...but it was fish....perhaps a carp but really woke me up.
Thanks for the tips...
