Pool hop a flop, river hop hits the spot.
On battery saver mode. Will try to get the report out.
Had planned, with the wind blowing 10/15, to do a pool hop on the BK. At it's current level the fish are easily spooked and often catching one fish sends the others for cover. Caught one and did nothing else in the first pool. Much to my surprise pools two and three were both occupied by multiple anglers. The pool hop plan came to an abrupt conclusion and was morphed into a river hop
Second stop was the BR, which I had originally passed on because of the wind. Saw but one fish rise in 45 minutes with almost no bugs on the water. Reeled it in and headed for the WB
At 4:00 I walked across bare rocks in a place that had two feet of water back in May. The good news is that there were bugs, not much variety, just pseudos, but lots of them and there were fish up and sipping. In the wind casting was no problem, it was just that you had no idea where your size 22 pseudo landed. Spooked lots of fish but got a few to eat. Two big browns must have read the report saying they had other things on their mind and took pity on me because they both ate the pseudo.
The wind was frustrating but enough flies found their way into fishes mouths to make the third hop the top stop of the day.
