I went out with the float tube today on Whittimore lake for a few hours.  I have never fished this spot before so I checked out the wa22ter and talked to the locals lined up on the shore drowning worms.  There were fish rising everywhere but no one had caught anything including the folks packing up thier canoe.

I cruised the cove to the right of the town beach as that seemed to be where most of the fish were rising, using the trusty wood duck herron I skunked.  I noticed a few BWOs on the water but no fish taking them.   I figured the hatch must be just below the surface waiting for some sun.  I tied on a sulfer dun with a caddis emerger nymph as a trailer.   This seemed to be the formula for the day as I took 2 browns on the dry fly and 4 bows on the nymph.  Most were average stockie size but one bow was a holdover going 16"+ and very fat (I could not get my hands around it).

I called it quits after a few hours so I could get to work on my honey-do list but they were still rising when I left.  I gave a nymph to this nice kid heading out in his kayak, after changing I saw him with a fish on, you guessed it, the bow ignored the bait and took the nymph.

Sorry no pictures, my camera went for a swim and I have not replaced it yet, and Ziggy was not there to be my personal photographer.

Nice job Keith! You know you can dry your camera? I dipped mine twice in one year and is still working, but meanwhile  I got a waterproof one.

Along the left shore headed back (from the landing) is where we used to nail em in Whitimore. Around the back, and up the opposite shore. Nymphs produced pretty consistent.
