Access Fished: Baptist
Just a quick report. Fished Baptist just about all day on Saturday. Started off throwing streamers in the morning trying to catch something big. I did catch a few but nothing really big. The best was about a 15 inch brown that took the yellow streamer from my last post. Around 11am I went back to the car to eat lunch and switch to my 4 weight. The fishing was very slow during the middle of the day. I did manage to pick up a couple on a royal coachman wet. I went WAY downstream, a choice I was regretting during my walk back to the car. When I finally did decide to turn around I switched my leader to a French Nymphing setup. I had a #14 cream caddis pupa with a tungsten bead as my point fly that resulted in all but one of my fish going back upstream. This makes sense because caddis were hatching a little bit throughout the day, although they never did hatch enough to get the fish's attention on the surface. Luckily, the fishing picked up a bit once the sun started to go down.
It was a pretty good day fishing, although not a spectacular day catching.
