Short Teaser And Fishing Report For Upper Currrent And Barren Fork

[living_waters]

Well I finally got a day that I could sneak off before my phone started blowing up.and ruining my plans.   And to be honest when I past through Freemont I was still undecided where I was going, but I had told my wife I wanted to try Barren Fork since it had a little water . So just by the off chance my phone got accidentally turned off I decided to be in the general area in case she sent the national guard looking for me, so upper Current here we come.
First stop was county road 258 low water crossing on Barren Fork, decent water and not a person in sight, perfect. Fished down about 3/4 mile according to gps, hooked a couple small rainbows on a small prince. Water was beautiful and fish were spooky just like it was supposed to be.
From there went to Baptist and headed down stream, water was quite a bit higher then it was in December but it was a bit dinghy. Picked up a couple nice bows right off the bat on a bead head nymph. Then hit a dry spell, tried a couple streamers, then late afternoon started seeing a lot of sliders around the banks and put on a "jeffs" rubberlegs and picked up a couple more before the sun went down. all in all a sweet day, finally got my first glimpse of another fisherman on my way back to the truck. Fishing has been tough on the current as far as numbers, one reason I believe is that I lost count of all the hooks hanging from trees with dried bait on it that wasnt there the last time I went down.
Here is a little tease clip of the day, it is the first time I used only my new gopro. Plus I am an amateur, unlike a few of the awesome artist on here. I am too consumed by the fish to do any quality videoing.

Smallest from Barren Fork

Seen waaaay too many of these

Thanks Justin and Mic. My old camera recorded directly to DVD format and was such a pain to edit, most videos were left raw. This GoPro has kinda sparked my interest in editing the videos, maybe once I find a good cheap user friendly software, make it through the learning curve of the software and cameras the videos will get a little better. BUT then I will also need to be a little less intense about catching fish. My mind is picturing the fish setting in front of the rock or right behind the end of the log, and no matter how many times i repeat to my self "turn on the camera" its always after the fact when I remember it. lol

Oh I almost forgot please over look the nasty looking casting, I have been nursing a bad case of tennis elbow and a bad shoulder. im gonna have to get Brian Wise's boys to reteach me how to cast. lol

[mic]

Brian is a show off. Besides his kid can cast better then he can.

[Justin Spencer]

Tennis elbow sucks, I taught myself to fish left handed because of it, took forever to heal and still can feel it when I bow up on a big rock.

Mic I have to be honest, watching Brians oldest boys double haul makes mine look like I have some kind of casting turrets syndrome on a good day. lol But I am planning on redeeming myself, my daughter is having twin girls and they will make the best of the boys look like newbie daffodils, atleast thats my intentions Their momma can do it with a bow.

Justin I cant scratch my but with any accuracy, much less cast with my left. A good cortisone shot and rest is the only way to help mine, thats why I have only been fishing a few times this winter. Does suck though!

Thanks fisheye I will check it out.

LW...nice first vid!! I love the videos! Heres my first one with Gopro from last fall down on the White River below the darn a

ways the water was negative 500cfs.....yea it was LOW...still caught fish on B/W Zebra Midge.....I'm using Powerdirector 10

for editor, still trying to get the hang of it. Need more footage, I just can't get used to turning the darn thing on, get to focused on

fishing.....I guess if I caught as many fish as Brian and Justin, and Phil it would be easier to remember to turn on.
