Dry Falls

[rderedfield]

In travelling from fishing in north central Washington, had an opportunity to fish Dry Falls on Sunday from about 10 am to 1:30pm.   My thermometer was broken, so I couldn't get a good water temp reading; however, the water didn't seem too warm, and the fish were still spunky and recovered quickly (and nearly all actually didn't need any 'recovery') after being caught.   During the time that we fished, my friend Brian had about 10 hits and caught 3 fish; a 19" rainbow, a 17" rainbow, and a 16" rainbow.  I had 6 hits and caught two 17" rainbows and one 14" brown.  A fair amount of damselflies and a lot of dragonflies were flying about, so you can figure out the successful pattern types.  We both used Type 3 lines; we dabbled with dry lines with no interested exhibited by the fish.  Most of our hits came earlier in our visit; the fish activity really died out just before we left.   There appeared to be some callibaetis floating about; a retired gent that was leaving the lake when we put in had caught nearly 20 fish (though most were smaller than Brian and I caught) on a mayfly nymph pattern.  He's living nearby the lake for the summer, and it looked like he had the lake dialed in . . .   Richard Embry
