Fished Chicken Creek East yesterday morning. Slow in the morning, but really picked up around noon. A brown mohair leech and a chironomids were the best for me. Landed 9 (one slot buster)and lost quite a few others. The interesting part of the day was...around noon, there was a "wiper-like" boil with the cutties rising all around me in the shallows (10-12 feet). It looked like a callibaetis hatch. I tried throwing several dries at them but no luck on top. I threw chironomids at them and that was the ticket. Have you seen that in the middle of the day there before? This lasted at least an hour with some of the fish actually splashing water on me. Pretty fun day.
Stopped by the middle provo on the way home. The afternoon hatches there have been great lately (OMD's, mayflies, some caddis').
