Sorry, when the hatch is on, I still prefer using nymphs. OK I avoid fishing at dust. I don't remember the last fish I caught on a dry. However, I'll try to start saltwater fishing with poppers this year. I also have to fish the Yakima at the right time of the year if I want to see a lot of stoneflies. As long as I'm fishing I'm happy. I'm heading to the RF this weekend. It's far from being my favorite creek but that's my first fishing trip since september. Vincent
