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.
