Spencer and I went to the Little J to fish opening day. We went to the Barree section and hiked up the canyon section. We tried to avoid the crowd by getting further into he canyon section, but soon realized the canyon was filled up with tents from fisherman that floated in with rafts and canoes for the first day of trout. We had never been to this section on the first day and seemed like a pretty neat camping tradition.
We didn't really get started til around noon and there were some caddis flying around. I picked up a handful of trout on a beadhead soft hackle. The day was mostly overcast and around 3PM I started seeing a few of the season's first sulphurs. I can't say that I've seen Sulphurs this early in the season before, but what a nice surpise.

Our friend Tom met us for some evening fishing and the hatch picked up as we got a nice rain shower. The bugs weren't heavy but we were able to find a few consistent risers. We picked up a couple on sulphur dries which made the day.
