I first tied on a disco midge and tried a handful of casts, but the fish didn’t seem interested. I next tried a sno-cone chironomid, but no takers on that pattern either, so I switched to a size 18 zebra midge. The zebra midge had on been sitting on the water a few minutes when a fish took it. The rainbows that I caught that evening were fat, healthy and full of energy. They ran me around and jumped several feet into the air.
As the sun went down and it started to get dark I released my last rainbow and reeled up my line. I loaded up my rod and drove off happy that I had got to fight and see a few beautiful rainbows that evening.
It was a beautiful evening and I can’t wait until I can get out and catch some more evening rainbows.]]>
