Bennett Spring 7/06/2011

Report from Jim:

Ray and I just got back from a overnite trip to Bennetts.  We arrived about noon on Weds. ate our box lunches and proceeded to fish.  There were more people fishing than our last trip a month ago.  The stream was almost in perfect condition, the cfs flow was still a fairly swift 190.  Well above the 45 year averg.  The island again produced trout mainly on the peach glow ball.  We broke to go back to room about 3:oopm had a cold one and then hit it ,again this time below the bridge, Ray hit pay dirt in the swift water using green soft hackles.  He landed a nice brown and several rainbows, this without any net which he left in the car.  I managed to pick up several rainbows using #16 black caddis below the bridge, the caddis was hovering over the water but not landing.

Today fishing was really hot on the island on the glow ball, a storm came up and washed us out around nine, Ray had several on soft hackle below bridge.  All in all a good trip.  I got the grill fired up tonight to grill two nice tasty trout.
