Notes

Pretty good for a short fishing trip. Fish were feeding on surface, but not as heavily as they were the last trip. Less bugs, which seemed to mean the fish noticed my flies better. Not many flies on the surface so I think the rising fish were taking emergers....and sure enough a small mirage or lightening bug dropped about 18 inches behind a buzzball worked great.

Finally put up some decent fishing numbers on the Mo.....am I starting to figure it out??

That sounds like a pretty solid fishing trip for just over an hour's worth of fishing. Nice work.
