My buddy and I decide to make a quick trip to PC last weekend. We got on the water around 4:00. Started around access #3 and quickly picked up a few small (12") bows on midges and micro mays.

Put my rod on top of my car at the parking lot just past the bridge. Came home and realized it was gone. Any chance someone found it and picked it up? I drove back and it wasn't in the parking lot. Thank you.

The first photo is a fish landed on the first cast. Really just a set up cast that I let drift out and Bam! A few casts later was a smaller fish about 17". The BWOs were popping. S and M nymphs. Before the S and M this time of year the best fly was a size 20 micro may. The micro may takes a lot longer to tie, so...
