BilletHead Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Well two more fishing days left so it was a trip back to Cody and a day off. The next two days we fished with a friend who owns and operates North Fork Anglers fly shop in Cody. Tim Wade, I have talked about Tim on here before but here is a recap of how we met him. Six years ago my Bride had breast cancer. During her recovery I encouraged her to apply for Casting For Recovery which is a retreat for women who have or have had breast cancer. Well Tim is a Missouri boy and he always comes back to help out. Well as fate would have it he was Pat's "River Helper" for her last day when the girls get to fly fish. This started quite a friendship and now we go out and fish with Tim. this was our fifth year. We have a blast and he takes us places off the grid sometimes. I won't tell the places we go with him as they are pretty special. Tim carries his rod also and we all fish side by side. We went two places that day, first a creek we have been to before. Third time with him but we have also fished it on our own. Hoppers, stimulaters and trudes with droppers at times worked. Caught lots at the above place. Next place we tried was unfished before by Tim. He says and I quote " I heard of a little creek from a guy that there was a few fish to be caught" So we grab the map and start looking for the creek. Found it on the map and took some of the craziest roads to get there. When we finally find it there is hardly any water in it at all. We stop and I finally find a place that has a double washtub size hole of water between trickles. I dip my trude in this pocket, I mean dip like you would for crappie between all these willows and proceed to yank out four littl cutthroat. By gosh Tim says there is fish in there. We drive a bit farther to find a series of six beaver dams in a row. Tim and I start picking apart these ponds as the Mrs. takes pictures from above. What a hoot! i would say we picked up a dozen or more from this creek.

Gavin Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Looks like lots of fun.Good for you two. I haven't seen Tim in awhile..but he's a great guy.
BilletHead Posted August 24, 2012 Author Posted August 24, 2012 He is a great guy for sure Gavin. I know some of you know him from belonging to the Ozark Flyfishers. First time we fished with him I was like a sponge soaking up everything he was teaching. Now he points me in a direction and says you know what to do. He then gets the wife started and then the the magic happens when we all have fish on, BilletHead "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"
