Weather: 92

Stream: High
and clear
Hatch:
Minimal
Beer: The
Dancing Man
For such a long time I have taken
leaky waders as a fact of life. I just bought a new pair and my mind was
shattered by the fact that I spent a few hours on the river and my socks and
camo pants were completely dry. The only thing which brought me down to earth
was the big blister on my heel the size of a nickel.
The water is still high from the
seven inches of rain we received over the course of a week but it’s now running
clear. It’s sad to say but I think the peak of the mayfly hatches are over July
always has a few surprises. I hooked two trout, one on a cahill and the other
on a caddis. Not the greatest night but compared to 2011 this year has just
been fantastic. As the water levels start leveling the fishing should pick up.
On a side note, my disappointment in
our local Midwest brewers continues. My search for a solid complimentary beer
to the dancing man has produced nothing. Bell’s has some decent beers but what
sane person wants to spend ten dollars for a sixer? Summit is just
disappointing and New Glarus is pretty good. Maybe, I’m too demanding but it
feels like all these brewers are selling the fact that they are craft brewers
but not being innovative.
