Hit the local tonight. Wind was blowing a bit when I put in, but by 7:30 it calmed down and the fish started showing themselves.
Bobber, dry and emergers all produced. A sparse 14 dry on 60' casts with the 3wt makes it feel like more than just catching planters. The local eagle is keeping them fairly wary. Fun stuff!
I did get a bonus planter though. Chunky 15" holdover. I will confess...He was flirting with the top fly just enough to make the bobber do weird things so I struck and the bottom fly got him right in the ass. Felt like a 4 lber even on the old IMX 5wt.
These things must go up the creek that comes in because this particular lake hits 70+ in the summer. I caught one last year too...in the mouth.
May in the NW...
