Wednesday, March 7th, 2012
Wednesday the 7th of March was another great day on the T. Fish were taking egg patterns as well as eating mayflies off the surface. There are a lot of nice fish in the system right now and they are angrily attacking anything resembling an egg. The fish are also aggressively feeding on the mayfly emergers, duns and female spinners. When the hatch is on, it is on. The fish key in to the mayflies and go crazy. Casting to specific rising fish seems to be the best ticket for the dry fly game. Throwing nymph rigs over the risers also produced many average sized rainbows. As the weather continues to warm up, the dry fly game should continue to improve, however, the water should start to come up here soon to feed the irrigation practices farther into the valley, therefore making wading and fishing more difficult. Once the T either slows down or gets to be too difficult to wade safely, I will start fishing the streams higher in the mountains and also the lake inlets around the Sonora area.

Wednesday the 29th was a very rainy day on the Lower Tuolumne. It started raining around 7:30am and did not stop. Luckily, the Tuolumne is a tailwater fishery and was not effected by the rain.
The fishing was great again today. I was the only person fishing the entire river which made it even better. I hooked and landed well over ten fish and lost two really nice looking fish.
The flows went from around 340 to around 320 around 8am. The flows can also be found at this link http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ca/nwis/uv?11289650
I am excited to get back on the water next week and see if I can't land another nice fish like the one that broke me off.
All in all, Wednesday was a great day with plenty of action. I am bummed about the few nice ones that got off but I landed a lot of nice fish nevertheless. I only got a few pictures and the lens was wet so I am going to skip uploading photos until my next post.
