John,
Thanks for posting. I agree, things have definitely slowed up. I’ve been catching fewer fish and have been skunked on two outings out of nine, and when I have caught fish it’s been just a couple and they’ve been hard to come by. My regular nymphing standby rigs have been less effective — frustrating when, because of the pellet hatch, you know so many fish are in there but ignoring your flies. More of this in the next Musky on the Fly.
I second your kudos for Rowlie and Mike.
