Most of you probably know that a typical sunny, October day on "A" section of the Green is nothing to write home about, and it wasn't, but it was good enough. I launched shortly after 11 am, and floated 'till about 6:30. I saw only about 5 or 6 other boats and one pontoon all day. No bugs or hatch to speak of until about 4:30 pm, when a few BWO's started popping and brought a few fish up along current seams and the banks.
I fished dries all day (that's just what I do, period.) , and caught fish here and there on #18 sparsley-tied cdc midge adults, and #18 para-adams. Around a dozen or so. During the last hour and a half, I caught another 6-8 on the adams in the last mile of river, on the right bank.
So, not the Green of cloudy October days, or the Green of big-bug summer, but a nice day, not many floaters, and just enough fish looking up to keep things interesting. Sunny and 70. Low water (800-900ish). A bit windy at times too.
