Its been a long time since I wet a line and I have to say this one felt great just to get out. David and I went out for a quick tail race float on the Yough on a great 60 degree winter day. There was only a trickle coming out of the dam (around 300 CFS) but the Cassleman was providing a good flow of muddy runoff water. We picked a few fish up in the tail race section and then a few more below the Cassleman. There were little black stoneflies (#16-18) that were being washed out of the Cassleman that we could see wiggling all over the place in the water column. Apparently the trout noticed them too, because that was the hot fly. There were no trout actually working the surface and our little Blue Winged friends never showed up today. Here's to a great season on the Yough.
