Joan Church Farm, 14 mi. N of Gore Feb 3, 1978 The river is much smaller as here - easily waded with high boots at riffles. Peter started out with me and at the first riffle he pointed out a fish in fast water about a foot deep. After several casts I got a fly over him and nailed him - an 18" dandy. At Peter's suggestion I went a few feet farther up and was casting over shallow riffled water at the extreme edge of the main flow - just over 4" deep - when another 18 incher emerged and took the fly and after a proper fight he was landed too. Just on a #16 yellowbelly hungry, stood on a #16 "dark red drake" (a favorite pattern of Peter's). At this point I sent Peter off with Jed to show him about and get him a fish. We gathered at 1PM for a fabulous lunch of Cullen Gardner, topped off with a trout cooked on a little tin grill powered with wood alcohol. It was superb. Started to rain about when lunch ended but we all went back in the stream anyway. Strong NW wind too which made casting a bit tough. Jed took another 18" fish and Woody (guided by Peter) came in with a 15 1/2 inches. All told then we had 5 fish for the day, all between 18 and 15 1/2 inches. Saw a few bigger ones, but mostly Peter says the fish here are smaller. Lots of mallards here also, and a few clearly recognizable gray ducks. Silver gulls abundant - came right into camp for scraps.
