Howdy folks, hope you had a chance to check out episode 11. The music is outstanding. We've asked listeners to drop a blog or an email on any of the following: Fishing hats, What's in your vest, Best excuses to go fishing, Road tunes, or just a friendly stream report. Check out Ken's response to fishing hats (still trying to envision the cammo thing) and his success with the # 20WD40 pattern on the kinni. I've had good luck with this pattern as well during midge hatches. I've tied them in red, but I'm not sure what Ken is using. Perhaps he can share a recipe.
Checked out the Kinni this morning and she seemed a bit off color in the early morning light due to the recent rain. I'll look again later today. If anyone would like a report, send an email to joepaatalo@gmail.com.
If the rivers hold, I'll be on the Rush this weekend. There are a few spots I haven't visited in awhile. I think I'll put my hiking boots on and do a little walking. The Rush can get a bit crowded in those well known spots on the weekends, so I suggest trying the lower Rush below Highway 10. Not as many fish down there, but they can be awfully big. I've had my best success down there in the spring. This year I plan to do some late night fishing down there with streamers, preferably on a clear night with a full moon. If someone is interested in trying it, let me know. Perhaps we can coordinate an outing.
That's all for now.

That's exactly what I was using. Size 20 tied on a dry fly hook.
Tail: Wood Duck fibers
Body: Red Thread
Thorax: Small ball of natural beaver.
That's all. I was casting the fly down and across with a fairly long (maybe 12') leader with 6x tippet and letting is swing slowly through a pool. You know, just hanging in the meniscus.
