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.

Gary is happy with this wild brown trout

The stomach contents of the brown trout showed damselfly adults were on the menu.

The sky was perfect for a day on the water.
