I couldn't believe my eyes when I woke up and it was 42 degrees at 7:00 AM. After the long winter we had around here it was a beautiful morning. I decided to take a trip to Black Canyon and it was even warmer there. Nymphing the big holes in the canyon was not the name of the game today. Picked up a few fish on the big green ugly early. Then about 9:00 midges started to come off and the fish were up. Found half a dozen fish or so on a #20 Griffith's gnat and another few on a #22 Parachute Adams. The real winner of the day was swimming big wooly buggers in black, brown and olive through the big holes. Also dead drifting and stripping them strait back upstream picked up good numbers of fish. I talked to one kid from Logan that had come up for the day and was doing great on a size 8 brown bugger with a little split shot for extra weight. No need for a sinking line here. All said, I landed about 20 fish in 2 hours with most of the fish in the 14 - 18 inch range.
Happy Trails,
Kevin
