Roaring River Today Very empty

[timsfly]

Fishing was pretty good so far today, nice and wet, nobody around, but I did mangage to catch a lot of small fish, and these two, one was 8 and the other was 7 pounds, caught them both on a #16 apricot glo-ball.

I'm heading back as soon as I dry out a bit, and yes of course Steve was there, he was just starting to fish as I left, he can have the peace and quite for awhile.

Well I couldn't let Steve have all that peace and quiet by himself. Of course when I showed up he was doing what he does best, sitting in the truck. I only got to fish for about an hour. Caught a few on a pine squirrel and a few on a red and black zebra midge. They were taking some flies off top so I decided to try a dry. It was raining hard at this point and I could not get the head cement out of the eye of the only dry I had. I took a scud and greased it up real well and tossed it out there. Well they liked that, I was amazed. Caught four or five on that and went home.

I HATE when that happens!

It's like the other night. I'm in the attic and I got a bunch o' mousetraps, ya know? And, for bait, I used a big piece of, uh-- cheese... Right?

So, so I set the trap, right? A-a-a-a-and I wanna see if the trap was gonna work, right? So I got the cheese in there. But every time I went to taste the cheese, the thing came down right on my tongue! ... I'm tellin' ya -- after forty, fifty times, I - I - I couldn't even feel the cheese, much less taste it. I hate when THAT happens, I'll tell ya that.

You are going to have to remember to take your medication.

Nice fish Tim, I guess you got your wish. When I was in yesterday you said you hoped it rained today. Ralph Conrad

Those are some nice ones! Maybe I should take March 1st off...

[timsfly]

Go ahead and take the day off, you should never let a job come between you and fishing. March 1st is a a day of maddness and fun. So come prepared :)Here is a march 1st crowd http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u294/timsfly/opening1.jpg

Nice fish Tim,

You da man. Good to hear Steve's back down there. Thanks for all of your help yesterday. I really love my new net, if i only caught one big enough to test it out. My friend caught about 30 and alot on Griffith;s Gnats during the BWO hatch yesterday. I only caught 8 on various flies. Lotsa strikes on olive marabou leech in the big hole in fron of the lodge. I spent most of my time lunker hunting. I hooked one 5lb or so on a micro egg but that fight didn't last long. It was good to get out for a change.
