I'll try to keep words to a minimum this time-- simply stated, I had a magnificent day of fishing last sunday. It was horrendously cold and my guides iced up numerous times. However there was an awesome hatch of #22 baetis underway due to overcast skies. It was very surreal to see a bunch of bugs swarming over the water amidst flurries of snow flakes. The most productive fly was still the prince nymph-- though my bwo nymph in gray and olive put a few fish on-- including the biggest fish of the day. I saw quite a few fish rise and I'm positive you could catch them with super small baetis dries. I covered a lot of water by hopping parking places in my truck and I caught nearly a dozen cutt-bows all in the 17"-20" range (gotta love winter), and one whitefish. Happy fishing all.
