With the cool weather and good water flows the spring trout fishing has been excellent. This bodes well for the summer for sure! But sometimes the stars align for the perfect late morning/ noon hatch... Cold, clear 50 F night, started with bright sun turned into a cloudy, humid day with drizzle/ light rain, air temps mid 60’s , water temps 59-60. Not a boat or angler to be found and Viola!, Steno Cahills emerging and spinning- dirty rusty spinner did the trick on this beautiful Loch Leven spotted brownie. Sometimes timing is everything! But this magnificent bastard refused emergers and duns with at least 4 fly changes- selectivity at its finest!
(Stay tuned for the next Hallowed Waters Podcast coming June 15th on the “Mayfly Mystique”, when I host guest author and Obi Wan Kenobi of all things Ephemera and Hatches- you probably know who? )
