BWO parachute	Krystal Flash emerger	Miracle nymph after 20 plus fish

Recent Flyfishing Photos Sat March 7 Gale Doudy and Kirk Fry were fishing at the Gunnison Forks. During the day several snow squalls moved through. Water temp was 40 degrees. Midges were the ticket. When nymphing the most productive pattern was  the miracle nymph. Other effective patterns were the Krystal Flash emerger, red larva midge and the 20/20. For a couple of hours fish were midging on the top. A small size 20 Griffiths Gnat  dropped from a parachute was effective. We caught a couple of 16 inch Hofer rainbows.  You can tell planted Hofers if there adipose fin has been clipped (the small fin between the dorsal and the tail on the top). We caught about 5 or 6 browns for every rainbow. It is great to be able to catch rainbows again.
