Notes

I arrived on the water around 11am Saturday and was seeing the occasion Green Drake dun. There were a *few* trout rising, but it was pretty inconsistent. I was able to catch one nice trout, around 12", on a green drake nymph in about 2-3' of semi-fast water. I caught a few smaller fish on a green drake adult. Total fish was 4. These fish were from the nice run where the river cuts under the highway in between Hailey and Ketchum. I parked by the road and walked downstream a hundred yards or so.
