Eagle Canyon: , by Andrew Harris: Project Healing Waters: 3 stars

We hosted a Bay Area chapter of Project Healing Waters today at Eagle Canyon.  The group is organized through the Diablo Valley Fly Fishers club in Walnut Creek.  They sure picked a beautiful day to fish Eagle Canyon!  The weather was perfect and the fish were receptive - after a while.  The bite was slow in the morning but picked up in the afternoon.  Our best flies included flashback PTs size 16, olive micro mayflies size 18, olive tailwater tiny's size 18, glo bugs in various colors, split-case PMDs size 16, and red copper johns size 16.  We did best fishing nymphs under an indicator, but fish were also caught on streamers.  The best fish landed was over 10 pounds and we had a hook-up and lengthy battle with a fish that was around 12-13#.
