Was eating lunch at my mother's house which sits on Lake Tahuyeh(near
Seabeck) and I looked out the window to see swarms of midges flying
about.  I decided to closely watch some quiet water near an inlet and
after a few minutes I saw two porpoise type rises.  Yep.  Trout.  So I
just happened to have my 3-weight in my car.  I rigged up with 6X (only
because I didn't have any 7x) and put on a #20 parachute Adams at the
end of a 15 foot leader (didn't have many flies with me, but the
Parachute Adams is one I ALWAYS have with me).  A little wind started to
blow which helped hide my leader.  In the next half-hour I hooked two of
the risers and landed one of them.  It was a firm, hard-fighting,
beautifully marked rainbow of about 16 inches.  Tons of fun on my "3". 
Not a real exciting fish story, but I thought I'd share.  Jeff Hale
