I was fishing at the club this morning with my dad again--3 hours, two rainbows, one brown, broke off two on choronomids with light tippet (too light) and caught the ones we landed on green, olive, and black buggers. Almost no fish rising to the surface and not much action.
The biggest surprise was seeing an otter in the pond. I've seen a muskrat before, but this was an otter. Not good news for the fishies. Otters are real effective at catching fish, so we've got competition. Perhaps that is part of why fishing was so quiet this morning--the fish are hiding in the weeds quaking with fear! With the nesting osprey above and the otter beneath and us chasing them with flies, it's got to be a tough time to be a trout at the FRC.
