Upper Kinnikinic

St. Croix?

7/30/98

Weather: Overcast
Water: Clear
Hatches: Yes
Time: 5-8:30pm

Comments: I fished the Kinni the last two days. I only manged to catch fish yesterday, but could've caught more if I was more experienced. Pulled four out yesterday between 9 and 11" on Blue Dun dry flies. There was a few hatches going on but I'm not sure what they were. I have positive ID on a yellow stone fly, but think the majority of the hatch was some sort of spinner. Fish were going crazy at times last night. If I spent more time on the water instead of the trees it would have been much more successful. The cold front today will probably shut them off a bit though.
