We've been having some hot weather the past few days but no rain so the river should be more settled.  Thought I would try for another evening go on the ole 'Miss'.  Thinking that the best way to catch a larger fish would be to bring my 3wt rather than the 5/6 wt Switch I've been using this year.  Worked really well.  This was the second fish I caught right away.  With the lighter gear, it took a bit longer to get in but that is what it is all about.  SM do a lot more acrobatics than LM.  In a way, they are the most exciting fish we have around here.  In any given stretch of water, if you have some faster moving stuff, that is where they will be.  I cast into the 'seam' with a dry line and a cone head fly.   Pretty good action for two hours fishing 22 minutes from home!  Lots of smaller fish caught on the dry fly in the rapids.
