It's foggy early in the morning. The water is very high, it looks like the water flooded yesterday.
I expected fish rising because it's getting warm but there was no rise, so I didn't use dry flies.
I caught 2 small brown by prince nymph. Before noon, I found a big fish splash under the bridge near by Shoe Box.
I couldn't cast dry fly there because another bridge was behind me. I presented a size 8 olive woolly bugger and he took it.
But he tore it off with 5X tippet. I changed my tippet size to 4X and tried it again. Then I could cathc him.
