Had a couple of nice trips to the Berry recently from the tube. Getting there early and getting off FAST as the wind comes up after lunch has been the plan. Doing real well on 17-20 inch Cutt's with a smattering of Rainbows mixed in... 1 slot-buster (24-in Cutt).
Chironomids have been hatching well... some true "buzzers" in the (hook) size 10-12 range! Callibaetis started showing up last weekend and I suspect damselflies as well seeing boils tight against the weedy shorelines.
Doing most of our damage casting to pods of porpoises with #14 Rickard's Callibaetis Nymph and/or A.P. Emerger. Creeping along the littoral zone after the shallow bite fades using combinations of Boobies, Estaz Buggers, and nymph patterns paying off as well.
Water temp had gotten up to 60* F, but probably dropped off a bit over these past few days.
