Thanks for the report. I hope to take Miss Susie if and when things slow down around here.

Happy Birthday, Pete! Hope you get to wet a line today.

Atta boy Pete!

Happy" belated" Birthday too , Pat. We usually plan a fishing trip on birthdays, our anniversary and Holidays if the weather and water allows.

Susie said "Pat's living the good life!"

Susie and I took the 4 youngest grandkids there last summer as their trip to Montauk with their parents resulted in a zero catch day. It was somewhere in the range of $5.50 a pound and they each caught 4 fish a piece . The cost- a little over $200 but the smiles on everyone's faces were priceless. In comparison, my older brother and his son in law had a guide trip on an Ozark lake that ended up costing over $400 with a tip . He said it was well worth it as they caught a lot of nice fish.

Good friend and fishing buddy Kenny H. was there with his 2 sons, one of the son's friends and his boss. Kenny had 2 lunkers and his boss 1 with Kenny's weighing 3 3/4 # and 6 1/4 and his bosses fish a 5 1/2 # fish. He left with the 3 younger lads to Bennett Springs where the youngest son had a 4 1/4 # fish. Said he's heading home this afternoon and headed to Montauk tomorrow with his daughter and son in law.

Sounds like a good name for an Asian dish!

Awesome setup !

I was fishing above the main bridge next to an old timer one opening. The water was low enough that we were fishing towards the bridge. At the siren the gentleman cut loose a cast but got a little too much air under it. I watched it clear the water and land amongst the people standing on the bridge. I told him don't set the hook ,you're jig is up among those people. One guy in the crowd threw it into the water.

Enjoyed the video, thanks.

Great colors on that fish. Wow!

I know the feeling as in the past, I've been the " Michael Phelps" of the trout parks. I do like to take the plunge when it's a little warmer.

That would be a good fly for my brothers to use. Catches fish ,quick and easy to tie. They tend to lose or give away a lot of the flies I give them!

I tie some emerger patterns on size 18 and 20 Tiemco 2457 and 2487 hooks. That works best when I use a magnifying lamp so as not to crowd the eye of the hook. It can get challenging tying them on 6-7x on the stream.
