Now that finals are over, I can get some more fishing in.  I made it out this morning for a couple of hours.  There were TONS of midges in the air and on the water when I got there.  The surface of the creek was full of emerging midge pupae and pupal shucks.  There were quite a few caddis coming off the water as well.  I hooked five, landing two this morning.  One was a 21" rainbow.  He was a nice, fat, strong fish.  I got him on a #20 olive midge.  I lost another 20"+ fish on the same fly.  I had it within 10 ft and was bringing it to the net when it spit the hook.  The other fish landed took a #16 tan Fox Poopah.  I didn't see any mayflies, but I imagine they'll be hatching in the afternoon.
