October is a great time to high stick for fish.  Tonight I fished the upper bridge for the first time in at least 18 months.  The crowds at the bridge have always kept me away, but I pulled in and there were only a couple of cars in the lot.  I fished about fifty feet below the bridge for about an hour and didn't catch a thing.  I moved to just under bridge and fished right at the north column.  I put on one No 1 weight and a size 22 black midge and caught four fish in half an hour.  I lost the biggest fish about 16" and decided to move upstream for awhile.  After catching a few fish about twenty feet upstream.  I moved back to the bridge column.  I put on some more weight and landed four more fish including a 16" er.  I think it was the same fish I lost earlier.  Three of the fish were those dumb planters, but it was still a lot of fun.  The top of the riffle at access #2 has been consistent in the evenings as well.  The pocket water between #2 and #3 has been the best though.
