Thanks to all who have sent their best wishes - and yes my hand is healing nicely.  I expect to be able to get it "wet" sometime this weekend.  Until then I am not fishing, so I look forward to your reports.  I stopped to walk the stream this morning, hoping to meet up with my friend Rob who tentatively had planned to meet me to fish for fun.  I saw a number of fishers as I walked the trail, but saw no bent rods.  The reports from this weekend indicated the fish were spooked from all the activity they saw.  I'd offer this advise to those fishing in the next few days:  Stay back out of the water and fish slow and deep unless you see some rise forms.  Hare's ears in size 16 and 18 and baetis patterns in olive and black in size 16/18/20 may be your best bet.  If you see some fish flashing try a yellow bodied streamer size 6/8/10.  Good luck.

Ken
