Had a little time to hit the lower on sunday. Have not been there forever due to the crowds. Thought that on a windy rainy sunday i might have a little space. I did for about an hour. I guess some things never change. Started with midges on top working a few fish but couldnt match the hatch with my 22s. Switched to nymphing and hooked up on my first cast. The BWO started popping soon after and i hurried and switched over. Got burned by a few and hooked up 3 that all popped off. The hatch was short and not that sweet. Good to get out anyways.

I know that it is difficult, but try not to let the crowds discourage you. The fish don't seem to mind all the activity, so just stay focused on the water you have in front of you and things open/close over the course of an outing.
Lot's of hole-crowds are in groups of three - guides with hackers for client's - so they're more less just whipping the water (not disturbing a lot of fish)... gotta wait 'em out if you want prime real estate.
I was on the LP near the dam on Good Friday... place was absolutely packed... had my best day of the year for both size and numbers.

Nice going. How long did you fish? Did the bwo seem to go for a while in the stretch you were in? I only fished for an hour and the bwo were slowing down fast. Sure theres plenty of water to fish. Plenty of fisherman cutting in and out also. I guess it wouldn't be that bad if they were at least a little sociable before they jumped in a guys back pocket after they see he is hooked up. But what the hell, i will go back for more. November sounds good Remo. Maybe we can fish it and have a cigaaaar?
