Funny you should ask.  I fished the canyon for a few hours today, other than the numb digits and frozen guides it was one of my best days ever.  I managed to find a couple of very cooperative pods.  There wasn't much of a hatch but I got by with a #14 sparkle dun (easy to see) on point and either a Griffith's Gnat or midge emerger on the dropper.  Surprisingly many fish took the sparkle dun.  Most fish were 10"-12", a couple pushed the 14" mark.  My best fish of the day was a 14" Westslope Cutt, sort of a surprise considering that I was way down in the canyon.   See you out there, Wyatt     ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 8:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Yakima   I have a few question for the Canyon regulars.  When the baetis hatch and associated rise stops, at whatever time in the early afternoon that might be, what do you switch to?  Also, will the recent cold spell shut things down for the season or is it possible that there might still be some dry fly action if the weather warms later in the week?  Last, are there other sections of the river worth exploring this time of year? Thanks for any insights. EH
