John S. and I put in below the dam about 3:00, and drift down through a few runs. I get a nice brown on Clouser Minnow (!) and John gets one on spinner combo, with fly rod (!!).
62° water. We motor up, pull out, and by 8:00 or so we’re doing a repeat of last nite. I have good luck with #16 Bob Scammell black ant. Hook 4 big browns, miss another. Land 3, which weigh in at 2, 2 ½ and 2 5/8 lbs. Smaller guy wraps around my legs and breaks off. John gets an 18” ‘er and 19” ‘er, both on EHC. John can’t find his way back across the river at dark, so I launch boat, row down and rescue him. San Juan’s Ferry Service! Showery weather earlier in the day…find evening, cooler and relatively calm. Lots of caddis, some BWO’s.
