By mid December mayfly hatches were thinning out but a few were still present along with damselfies.

Rising trout sporadic from time to time and this one took a possum emerger. We kept this one for dinner and discovered the stomach was full of damselfly adults.

On this particular day there was a great sky giving some good cloud cover and some bright spells, mixed with moderate winds, mid 20s temperature… doesn’t get more pleasant for a day on the water.
