Crane In Good Shape

[timsfly]

Fished crane today, started below the dairy farm, only landed 3 but had a few more hooked, caught them on black woolybugger, 1/32 oz. olive R.R. special, and one on a black/yellow streamer.

Had to use a lot of weight. Water is still about a foot over normal but, it is clear.

Didn't see any flies hatching, did see ants and beetles around.

Didn't see any attack snakes today, just regular snakes. Nothing over 5 ft. long.

The first trout was 12" long the other two were just a shade over 10" but they were fun.

Hey Timsfly,

I finally got myself on the creek again, decided to take a break from turkey hunting, just relax and fish. Fished public section below town friday evening, and had it to myself. Water was clearer, but higher than our trip the first of March. Tried to fly-fish, but breezy conditions and swift water caused me to resort to the spin rod. Tied on the most beat-up jig I had and went to work. Five fish brought to hand was among my best tallies ever for the creek. Missed several other bites and hooked one larger (and lost on a leap, the big one almost always gets away right?) than all of these brought to hand. All but one of these fish made at least one beautiful leap. One made 4 leaps as I recall! I love the salmon colored fins with white tips on these fish. Fish 5 looked to have suffered an injury on it's side some time in the past, but had recovered nicely.

I left with a satisfied mind.
