Wind made upstream cast very difficult and flow required 5-8 BB shot to get to the bottom (on top of heavily weighted nymphs). Mayflies started to get going around 1900 and the frustration began. This wasn't the typical frustration of not being able to get fish to take but instead seeing so many bugs on the water and absolutly nothing working them. Finally around 2015 a few fish started to roll on some duns and I was able to hook and land a very fat and fiest bow before losing light to wade by. Overall a beautiful but very disappointing day. Forecast is for rain and an east wind on the Raritan bay tomorrow hopefully the rockfish will be cooperative. John
