River - Lower Roaring Fork
Flow - ~575cfs
Weather - Mid 40's - 50's, some sun and clouds
Big fish - 20" Bow
Techniques - Running nymphs deep was still the plan. We had some Blue Winged olives coming off and a few risers, but the consistency was in the nymph rig.
Effective Flies - Small BWO wet flies and emergers. We still picked some up on different color copper johns and Pat's Rubber legs.
Fish story - After the majority of the float, we pulled over to wade for a bit. We noticed a few good size fish sipping the trapped bwo's in the foam in a recirculating pool. We had one rig with two dries, a medium sized stimmulator (as the indicator) and a small #22 bwo. The second cast into the foam, I noticed the stimmy move just slightly so I barely lifted when I knew it was a fish. I set and was able to land this nice bow. He was the only one that we got on the dry, but we still managed to pull a few out of the same hole with the wet flies.
