Location: Pavilion Hole
Time of day: 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Conditions: Daytime highs in the upper 60s, but cooled to the high 50s by sundown. Water low, but still cold due to lows in the upper 40s at night.
Not much going on when Mary and I got down to the Pavilion Hole. So, while Mary built the campfire, I settled down to observe the water.
Not much going on. A few Suphurs, March Browns, and even a Green Drake or two. But only a couple of risers. But the temptation was too much. I tied on a March Brown spinner, and on the first cast....
After that things got quiet, although I managed to miss a second fish.
Around 8:30 dozens of Green Drakes showed up and started laying eggs in the stream. While the activity only lasted about 20 minutes, the trout didn't seem interested. Since it was getting dark, I kept the March Brown on, and managed two more trout; a 12 inch Rainbow and a Brown that went around 14 inches. (too dark to get pics)
A pretty decent evening on the West Branch. And nice to get some fish on top. Rain on the way this weekend, which is badly needed to get the stream up a bit.
Tight Lines,
