Wow. Deshka, this is one heck of a debut performance. Thanks for all your help. The Big Wood is my favorite river and I've fished it since the 70's so feel pretty comfortable with it - I also know a few of the easements you are talking about and I've love to swap info with you sometime. I will be up there again over Thanksgiving to hit the midge hatch. Magic is someplace I've always driven by and wondered about it, until last spring when I stopped on a whim and hooked a brown as long as my arm on a Stayner Ducktail - I lost him at the shore - but he was the biggest brown I've ever hooked and that made me hooked. I don't know where I'll end up fishing on the Wood but will take your advice on fishing the east side of Magic by the dam if we make it there (probably late afternoon). If you are there, I'll be bobbing around in a tube. Thanks again for your help and we'll be in touch.
