Well insomnia woke me up at 430 AM so I decided to go up (actually it was probably too many naps and going to bed early on Saturday). Left the house by 530 getting to my favorite spot and finding it devoid of people except 3 guys across from me. Toward light the other side filled up, but my side stayed pretty empty except for 3 guys up from me. Slow was not the word for it for the the first 2 hours for most of us. The guys up from me getting into a few fish with one quick head shake for me and not a tap on the other side. At around 9 after changing flies around 15 times I started to pick away here and there. It seemed they wanted sucker spawn color not important. Got hits on Pink, blue, orange and creme. Most were a few head shakes or a quick run. Got into a real screamer running down the whole pool running down the whole pool in what seemed like 5 seconds jumping twice and taking me into the backing and popping the hook. A bit later I got a snag and brought in a wad of line. I was scavenging swivels and weight when noticed a few tiny worms wiggling around, on close look it seemed to be a tiny sedge worm, it was greenish brown and about a 16. Unfortunately I had only one fly that small in the box. Worked well for 3 hits and 1 to the bank before the rock in front of me claimed it. Ended up banking 3 today and lost a few more and for good measure no knots or tippet were broke all lost fish just popped the hook. Sorry for the crappy pictures I see I cut the head and tail off the my biggest one this year it was double digit though , it is SOOOO difficult to net the fish, try to keep it safe and take a picture on my phone when I cannot see the screen by myself . The one fish had 2 lamprey marks on it.
Almost all fish hooked were on our side, the guys across from us got maybe 2 or 3 quick hook ups in 7 hours or so and there was easily 10 guys over there during the early AM . I fished from 7 am till 2 pm
