Hi everybody, the Wood is just starting to clear itself from all of the wind infused
floating debris, making dry fly fishing a lot better. In addition to BWO's in
the afternoons especially on those overcast days, the good news is that the Gray
Drakes have started to emerge. These Siphlonurus spices will show on the river
at just before dark in the spinner stage. Dick Stewart tells us in his book that
the duns are rarely seen because the nymph does not emerge to the surface of the
water instead crawls onto rocks and the river bank to break from it's nymphal
shuck. Fish started coming up to the spinner imitation just around 8:05pm. I
like using my orange sparkle spinner in size # 12. I tie it with a tail of three
to four barrbules of pheasant tail; a body of orange died rabbit fur and spent
winds of Bill's Body Braid sparse. It is also a good idea to fish a nymph just
below the surface during this spinner fall. In some cases the matting pair fall
to the water together making a much larger silhouette and the fish go crazy when
this happens. So at times a large parachute pattern such as an Adams will work
well. The water temp. is a good 59 to 60 degrees.Beautiful large Cahills are also on the river as well, a soft hackle dry with a body of light yellow rabbit fur works well in sizes of # 14 and #12.
Reminder start looking for the great Hex Hatch around the 14th. of this month, June, a lot more on this very exciting hatch later in this blog!

Hi everybody, we fished the Blackstone river both Monday and Tuesday nights. We started
fishing a size # 16 X-Caddis Tan in color (Elk Hair Caddis) to rising fish and
did very well; this was around 5:15 PM. The fished stopped rising for about 30
minutes and then started again but where feeding this time on small gray midges
in size #18’s and 20’s, I did in fact take one fish on my gray soft hackle size
#16 but that was it. These fish where tough and would only look at and take
smaller naturals and proved to be very selective. Then as always during this
time of the year on the Blackstone the black caddis started coming off at around
8:10Pm
