I fished the creek today and got a few fish (although my usual Putah stuff wasn't performing too well), but I stuck around late enough to see a couple of fish rise. I threw almost everything in my box, and nearly took a swim trying to catch a hatching bug. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what was hatching. Sort of big and grey, but behind that I didn't get a close enough look. Anyone know what the risers were sipping? I want to tie some similar-looking soft hackles.
Beers of the day: Racer 5 and Ninkasi Total Domination.
Well if it was grey it might have been a larger BWO or gray drake. Never heard of any drake flies in the creek but I also never really saw a lot of the bugs that have recently been coming out either. Always learning something.
