Clinch Repot May 4th, 2008

Sounds like things are looking up on the Clinch! Need to get over there, used to love to fish the Sulphur hatch. My first nice trout on a dry was on a Sulphur; 18" hen. She swam through my legs twice. That was Mother's Day 96, I got away with that one more year as our son was born Nov 97. There was only one other person on the river that day and neither of us had a camera! That was at the end of the hatch for the day, that always seemed to be the time the larger fish came out to feed. 12-15' of 6x, they get really spooky over there in the low flows.
Tight lines,
John

The sulfurs were a bit sporadic around the jail. We stayed with dry patterns and picked up a few fish, brooks and bows. My friend took a 16-17" rainbow. Beautiful day, light breeze, no crowds, 75 degrees, and fishing drys on a 3wt. Almost heaven.
