Hit the Stilly at Fortson today on the river around 7:30, quit 2:00. About a dozen guys, saw 4 caught and 3-4 crackered. I was lucky enuff to get one of the four taken, a nice hatch female. I didnt weigh her but she was 29", looked to be 9 maybe 10. I'm curing the eggs right now. Small orange spn n glo, yarn skirt and eggs. Dont bother with the Stilly below Fortson. French Creek and of course Deer Creek are puking mud. Hazel, C Post etc are out, way out. Fortson was OK.

WDFW reopened the top four miles of the Stilly yesterday.

Real nice day, nice guys on the river.
