Saturday was bright sun which doesn't help get the fish rising. I hung around Cadosia looking for risers and there weren't many. On Saturday, I tried to time the float to miss most of the guide traffic and failed. Overlapping hatches, random rises mid day. I couldn't get one to take. I sat there for 2 hours watching 2 pigs eating march browns. Confirmed with binoculars. They refused every pattern I pu over them for 2 hours. Hatch changed to sulphurs and grey fox....same story. Stung 5-6 on an emerger due to quick hookset. Dead for a few hours then stenos before dark and ruusty spinners on water. No rises until I couldn't see then it broke loose and continued to whiff.
Bass, what is the perfect flow? Ask 10 people and you're going to get 10 answers. Also, why float w/o gear? Pick a short section, take all day and really go over it. Before passing another boat or wader, you need to look and make sure which way they are fishing. Cross on the wrong side and you will get crucified. Nothing like a 70 yr old woman dropping F bombs on you to brighten your day. LMAO. Many pools have a distinct foam line. The fish set up shop in the conveyor belt of food. Float down the middle of it and will also get yelled at. Fun times. :-D
