Normal is about 701-701.5.Used basically same tachnique as shown for Apr. 30 except this time it was me swtiching to the Peach Furbug. The size 12 <\/FONT>River Run Peach Furbug<\/FONT><\/A>. was the fly or jig of the day. Caught about 18-25 fish with the biggest in the 15-17 inch range. A bunch were in the 13-15 inch area.Apr 30<\/FONT> <\/STRONG><\/FONT>– Howard Couch and I went out at about 3::30 p.m. for an hour. Bright sun, wind, and algae on the surface but the water was off. Howard started off with the size 16 Red Tunsten Bead Head Midge<\/A> and I started off with the size 12 River Run Peach Furbug<\/A>. Howard, within a few minutes, for one reason or another, switched over to the Furbug. I used a fly rod and 6x Orvis Mirage Tippet with the indicator set at a depth of about 4-4 \u00bd feet. It didn’t make any difference whether we were fishing in 8 feet of water or 4 feet of water, the depth of the indicator was left the same. We caught between 16 and 20 fish when we left to go pick up the girls for dinner.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P> <\/FONT> <\/P> <\/FONT> <\/P> Fly Fishing Only<\/STRONG> by <\/FONT>River Run Outfitters <\/A>– Apr. 26 <\/STRONG>– Trips this past Friday and over the weekend with one of two generators has been very good. Three boats out Friday with the water in the high 704 range and it fished very well. Two of the boats had brand new fly fishers. Everyone caught fish 15-30 each. Most on the black or olive zebra midge. Saturday fished well and Sunday was one of those days we dream of. Water was off for more than 8 hours. We were catching fish on almost every cast. Everything was working, scuds, midges, soft hackles, green holographic crackle backs to name a few. Monday we had water all day but fishing was still very good. Tuesday the water was off until 11:30 a.m. Had three boats out and one of our guides comment was “the fish are jumping into the boats”! Again, almost every thing worked. Ha good fly fishing gal out Tuesday on her birthday. If she didn’t get a hit on the third drift, we checked the fly to make certain something was not wrong as they were hitting that good. Half day probably boated 30 plus fish and missed twice that many. We fished the olive and rusty brown zebra midges. Also threw an olive flash and soft hackle. The other boats never changed from the red tungsten bead head midge.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
