That settles it -- I'm going to bring the finesse (the TFO rod, not personal style) and a spool of 6-7x tomorrow morning with some midge pupae (Al's rat) and larvae (Al's rat with wire) and get one in the phlegm. I love fishing in the phlegm. I love catching minnows and micro sunfish which are obviously feeding on insects. I'll spend over an hour trying to catch mummichogs on the SF Shenandoah -- ask Beth.
-- Now that's howcomeszit folks!

They are picking off midges and terrestrials and will eat a small nymph. And something should be around to eat them. Match that hatch.
Sent from my iPhoneFantastic! Thanks Rob -- that would have bothered me all day!--Is it a feeding thing, or something else?Gene

Sent from my iPhoneHello -- on the ride to work this morning I noticed hundreds of (what appeared to be) happy minnows/killifish/dunno jumping out of the water all over the place, both on the Potomac and the section of 4-mile run I pass (bridges near the airport). I couldn't tell exactly what was going on, but I did ride through several clouds of bugs as well...a redfish guide in NC says mullet jump because they're happy, so I'm sure minnows are the same.--So....howcomeszit?GeneBTW -- fished for a couple of hours after work yesterday and there are still a lot of loafer snakehead around. They're kind of annoying honestly -- I haven't found them to be particularly good fighters, and I'm annoyed at the chore of pithing them with a multi-tool if I catch one. I wish I could find more carp....
