First Day Off In 3 Weeks Fished Most Of The Day

[timsfly]

First full day off in 3 weeks, so I took a break and went fishing, I went to Roaring River, because even

though I'm not working today, I had to do something in town before I could go, I'm always working

Started off in the C&R area, did very well, first two fish came up to a #18 blue wing olive, the next two

were on a #10 black beetle, then I caught 14 on a white chamois worm, the one in the pic was the biggest today

he was around 18", I switched to a small olive bugger and caught a few more, then went to the shop, checked

in with Duane, got a tea at the water slide, and went back down for a few more hours, went up by the old CCC

lodge, tons of fish up there, I put on a crackle back and caught a few right quit, then put on the black beetle

and caught two more, then I fished the show hole, the one right in front of the old lodge, and caught maybe 10 more

on small white brassies, small egg patterns and a few more on a green/grizzly crackle back.

fished 6X all day and could have done a bit better with 7X but I was stubborn and didn't change, used several differnt

rods today, I was breaking in a few new bamboos, its a crappy job but someone has to do it.

The water is great right now, the dry fly fishing is really good right now, adams, beetles, blue wing olives, caddis

griffiths gnats and crackle backs have all been really good the past few weeks, most of the dries I'm fishing right now

are 16's and smaller except the crackle backs and the beetles.

It was a good break from working.
