The morning time seems to be the hardest time for me to catch fish in the river. I have been up there 5 times this year and 10:00-3:00 seems to be the best time for me. We went early for the first time last Friday and caught 6 fish (5 whities and 1 brown) from 8:00 to 10:00, all on a BH hares ear or rainbow warrior. I know a couple of holes in the river that I can fish all day and catch a fish about every 10-15 minutes; sometimes quicker depending on how long the fish runs back and forth through the hole, and I can't seem to catch them early. I don't even see the fish flashing under the water until about 11:00. My friend and I tied on every fly combo we had for an hour and couldn't catch a fish to save our lives. I also wish I knew what to catch them on early in the morning. I guess we have always really slept in and waited for the air temp to get warmer for the bugs to start moving around. We only wake up early if we are going to go lake fishing.
