Waupaca river

Waupaca

8-12-97

Weather: cloudy cool
Water: 62 F at hatch time
Hatches: E lukon
Time: 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm

Comments: When we got to the river at 7:30 pm the lukons were already hovering over the water but no fish were rising. About 8:15 pm to 8:50 pm the spinners bean hitting the water and brown trout rose regularly.

Best night of hook ups on the E lukon hatch I have had in a long time. The turkeys roosting in the trees above the river enjoyed the show. An upright wing dry outfished the standard spinners. The waino spinner, lukon size (#14) and color did well also.
