Weekend Report

[stlfisher]

A buddy of mine and I made the trip down on Saturday and Sunday. The weather was incredbly warm for early December, which made conditions balmy, but a bit windy. The water is very low and the moss is everywhere...so we fought that in blue ribbon section all weekend.

The fish were hard to find on Saturday, but we manged consistent enough action to be enterained throughout the day. No real stories our memorable fish...but a great day hanging in the river. The river was quite busy and most others reported tough conditions.

Sunday most of the Saturday crowd had left and we had the place to ourselves. We hit the river and through streamers up until about noon. By buddy caught several fish and one really nice brown in the 18-19 inch range. I had one follow and turned an absolute giant, but couldn't not close the deal on either. After lunch we spent the final few hours in the park throwing dry flies. I caught a bunch during the midday hour, then it went silent. Tried a streamer again to close out the day and landed one more fish, but probaby had 20 short strikes. Interesting day for sure...probably one of the the few days where I caught fish on top, one on a streamer, but none nymphing.

Oh well that how fishing goes. It was great to get out and always a bummer to come back home.
