On The Fly 6 Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Hoping to make it to the stream at Tenkiller tomorrow! Tying up some flies late tonight to try out. Im also looking forward to trying the new non-leaking waders! Anyone else plan on trying their luck?

DaddyO Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 I already have family committments or I would meet you down there. Give us a report when you get back! DaddyO We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.
OKFlyFisher44 Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Let us know how you did! I was going to go down this morning but had prior arrangements... Chance ...I'm haunted in my dreams of waters I have yet to fish and trout I have yet to catch... Chasing the Dream...
On The Fly 6 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Posted February 8, 2010 Went out with my uncle and got a late start. Didnt get to the water until noon. Started at the pool just in front of the gravel parking area because the fish were breaking the surface everywhere! I thought It was going to be a great day...but in fact, it was kinda slow. I caught 6, but couldnt find anything they would hit consistently. I tried various colors and sizes and just couldnt find a steady producer. My uncle did well on a red midge, and taking note from him I tied on something red as well. This produced 2 fish. I caught 2 off of a white wooly as well. The last 2 were on a copper john I believe? After my uncle left around 2:30, I continued fishing in various areas and didnt catch anything else. I finished up the day above the kiddie pool and saw a father and son pull fish in left and right. I would have asked what they were using, but I was cold and hungry so I went ahead and called it a day around 4:30. Im hoping to return to the river with better luck and a few more flies in my box! Wish the report was better, but my last 2 trips just haven't been as fish filled as I would like. I think Im starting to become a good luck charm to whomever Im fishing with, because this is the 2nd time Ive been out fished by a family member.

OKFlyFisher44 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Did you try any soft hackles when the fish were rising? I believe they are midging...eating the emergers subsurface and the adults on the surface. I killed them on soft hackles a few weeks ago when the fish were doing this.

On The Fly 6 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 Did you try any soft hackles when the fish were rising? I believe they are midging...eating the emergers subsurface and the adults on the surface. I killed them on soft hackles a few weeks ago when the fish were doing this. I tried a BWO, crackleback, and a soft hackle (that I probably tied funky) and got nothing. Watched them eat a big mayfly or two that happened to land on the water...but didnt see enough action to switch to one.

OKFlyFisher44 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Weird... Chance ...I'm haunted in my dreams of waters I have yet to fish and trout I have yet to catch... Chasing the Dream...
On The Fly 6 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Posted February 11, 2010 Weird... Nah, I probably wasnt being patient enough. If I dont get a take after about 20 seconds of my fly being on the water...I pick it up and put it somewhere else. If I had stuck with it for longer, Im sure I could have gotten something to bite out of boredom...
