Dix River 6-10-06.
excellent weather, sunny 70 degrees, partly cloudy skies. Got to the river about 8:00 am, casting shortly after. Covered some basics on nymph fishing with a couple of clients, its always very important for the guide and the client to feel comfortable with the technique. It makes for a very successful day for all. Mainly fished small sz 18 black zebra midges on 6x tippet. Hooked the first fish after a few drifts, a brightly colored Dix River rainbow. Moved out of the first pool after 8-10 fish and motored up to the Dam to start our drift. Made several drifts down stream and picked up fish on each drift . Around 2:00 pm, mid afternoon or so, fish started rising to small emergers, figuring this wouldn't last long we tied on a small black beetle with rubber legs and I am glad those fish could not tell the difference. Had a great trip a usual on the Dix.
