Notes
Fun but cold trip. I really like the run a few hundred yards below the upper pool for drifting ZMs along the bottom. The upper pool was also real fun during the midge hatch, although once again I focused much of my effort on the surface and could not find a surface fly that produced (the copper ZM dropper got all the action).
