The quest for clean water took Randy and I all over the map today.  We did find some on a stream that neither of us was familiar with, but it was fishable, which is more than I can say for most of the streams we saw.  We started by pitching some buggers and then took turns in one run hammering a few risers with a BWO/grizzly midge.

We bounced around for a bit and saw oodles of bait anglers/spinner chuckers on some very dirty water and then decided to hit a headwaters closer to home.  There were some BWO and Dark Hendricksons going, but few risers, so we basic nymphed our way through the afternoon.
