EARLY START


                                             
                                                   


                                                   
                                                 SCATTERED ABOUT

                                           
                                     The fishing has been pretty good on the fly.  But the fish
are really scattered as anyone will tell ya. Surprisingly, the fish most and I have caught have not been in the faster current. Such as tailouts and deeper rapids. I'm assuming the low water has a lot to do with that. Another suprise I have found is how many fish have reached central Medina county. The bigger dam most don't see  next to the condos is pretty sizable. With water being that low, and only 4 pushes of fish I am really suprised they have got over that.  Throwing small streamers at the black wall has been working well.     
                                                               
With the rains coming down and everything blown,this should be the best run to date. With fish spread out even further. And I can't wait!

JUST A START

                  
                                                                FILL IT UP
                                             
                                           
    This is been the norm lately and I am more than welcoming it. Just like Mike Durkelac (our Cleve. metro parks aquatic biologist) had said. "This is the same deal as last year, and it brought a mega fall run of our silver streaked friends. Well, he was damn right as usual.  
      With colder temps early, the farmers almanac is hitting accurate again if u follow. Which is not bad either. To me anyway. I would have to admit I have had a lot of luck with white bead headed buggers, loaded with  Palmer chenille in Grey/white. As well as Metallic Blue bead headed buggers with Black/Red Palmer Chenille. The Palmer wraps just like hackle, and is a great way to substitute for a hackle first, then a chenille over. I also wrap two hackles. One being a different color then the other,right over the other. And it looks just fine .Two-tone buggers I guess is a better way to put it for loss of words types like me.  
         The waves of fish others and I have noticed have been small. Or I'm just a shitty fly bum. But it seemed the first 2 waves were really good. It heated up a little, and the run slowed even with the rains. But with the cold front hitting and the leaves falling with the cold rain, my mind has switched from "possibly", to "now." Like a December Lake effect squall.
