New Wife Had To Work So I Went Fishing

[duckydoty]

My wife was working and my brother and his wife were in town so I suggested checking out RR. They had never fished there before so we headed over that way. Started fishing around 11 am and only fished for a couple of hours. Threw nothing but 5 inch T&A Rainbow patterns by Kelly Galloup. I caught about 6 fish with the largest being around 7 pounds. Did have a couple of really big boys grab ahold of the fly and either break off the 5x tippet or just not grab the hook part of the fly.

My brother caught a few with the largest being around 3 1/2 pounds.

Great day for fishing! It was kind of crowded but you could still get a place to fish.

Ran into Flysmallie and his daughter down there. They were just starting as we were getting ready to leave.

Been fishing 3 times since the start of the New Year now. Pretty cool!

That is some good fishing for a few hrs.

I did well on a big bunny bug today, I only

have a couple of those T&A's and I only use

them with 4X tippet, don't want to lose one.

I haven't had that good a luck with the ones

I'm tying.

I'm still doing well on eggs and bunny bugs.

Glad your getting bit of fishing in.

Well she did want me to stay home and fill her fly box up, but she wasn't too upset

I loose them all the time Tim. I think 5x might make a little bit of a difference on the number of bites you get. I usually do really good with them down there. It is exciting fishing for sure!

Sounds like a very good few hours Ducky. I also made it down yesterday. I had a good time fishing the C& R area until about 1:00pm. I managed 1 really nice male that measured 21" or 22". Any Idea what he might have weighed????? I never have been able to judge trout. He was heavy, my only guess would be between 4 and 5 lbs. I caught him on a Zebra Midge with a scud dropper. It took about 10 mins. to bring him to the net. Qiute a fighter.

I also looked for flysmallie but couldn't find him. Maybe next time.

Can someone tell me what a T&A is???? I'm not familiar with that fly.

Hey Buzz, there's a fairly reliable formula to judge the weight of a trout....Length X Girth X Girth / 800....I've written it on my flybox so I can remember it....so if your fish was 22" and say had a 12" girth that's 22 X 12 X 12 = 3168....3168 / 800 = 3.96 lbs. Good catch!
