This was my first time fishing in the summer at Putah.  All the usual hot spots were under water so much of my time was spent hunting for fishable places.  It was frustrating in general as many of the obvious "fishy" runs were inaccessable.

I hooked 5 and landed 1 small fish.  Had another 3 grabs that were on for a second and then came off.  There were no hatches to speak of and the fish seemed tentative.

The hightlight of the day came when I finally figured out that the fish were eating midge larva.  It is a leap of faith to put on a size 22 midge imitation and heave it into big moving water.  However, after putting the midge on almost immediately I tied into 2 quality fish (14"+) that both got into the current and took me down river, 1 almost into the backing.  Lost 'em both, but had a great time playing them.  I was probably never going to land these fish with 6X tippet, tiny hook and the big current.

I'm probably going to wait for the water to drop before I go out again.  It's pretty frustrating at 500 fps +.
