Bridgeport Fun!
Another Great Year in the Books!
Most of the crew fished Little Virginia. I fished Upper Twin with the exception of one day at Virginia. Tuesday at Upper Twin, nothing although fish were rising. Wednesday at Upper Virginia, eight fish. Thursday, at Upper Twin . WOW, a beatis hatch came off about 11am to 1pm. Two browns on indicators, six on dries, one rainbow on diry. Friday, sparse hatch at Upper Twin, three fish, two browns, one rainbow, all dry. Saturday, no hatch, boohoo. Only one fish on a midge larva slowly stripped in. Sam Thompson fished Saturday at Upper Twin and landed 14 trolling a fly.
Weather was beautiful. Shirtsleeve except early morning and evenings. About 38 as a low at night. 15 or so at the potluck, almost all brought desserts! I made mac and cheese, lots!, Don Gillett beans, Jim Rich brought corn. Party was at Jerry's campsite since it was the biggest.
