You know, I'm sure there were some fish feeding on midges -- I just lack and know-how to recognize it.  I didn't see any real obvious hatches and no rising fish.  Last time there definitely was one I could recognize -- looked like some kind of white flies (definitely not spinners like the ones that were falling on our truck at Elk River).  I tried to drift some griffith's gnats when it was going on, but I only caught fall fish and bluegill.   On passage creek last wednesday at the C/R section I got choked in a midge hatch, so I knew that one.  But it was big.  I probably just need more experience with trout waters -- 

I've wondered about fishing it away from the C/R section....but I'm not from this region and would be afraid to guess where a right-of-way is along the road or something.  It is definitely pretty crowded there at the C/R section and I prefer it a bit slower if I get my choice.  It's not all about the fish ;).  If you want to drop any tips to me, by all means shoot me a PM if you like.  I've learned this hobby from club members and youtube videos.  

 I usually have a few weenies on me to bounce along the bottom (red and green).  I didn't try any yesterday though - maybe I should have.   I usually throw them at sunfish, lol ;).

I'm surprised there weren't any midge sippers in the Allenberry CR section. Did you try any caddis imitations? I always had good luck on streamers on the YB this time of year, albeit further upstream from the special regs section.
