Had an epic day yesterday.  Approx 10 landed, most were hatchery.  The morning folk gave up by mid-morning and I ended up getting the run to myself.  The bite started right after they left and didn't end until mid-afternoon.

Today, slower.  More people.  There were 4 peeps fishing when I got to the run.  All were pretty much trying to line the fish with heavy sink tips and flies.  That got the fish spooked from all the splashing of the foul hooked fish.  I was just on an intermediate tip with a bead headed fly.... Could have gone just dry line and longer tippet, it was so shallow there.  As people started to leave I got into a few.  Ended up retaining 2.

Don't have a pic of todays catch.  But this was from yesterday...
