LittleRedFisherman Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Having a great time at jig fest 3. Today was a great day on the river. Despite higher levels and some trash there were some nice fish caught today. Others will chime in later I'm sure. Griz caught a big brown today I'll let him talk about. Here's a few I caught today including a fat 17 inch brown ! The food was awesome as always. Terrierman and griz are awesome cooks!! N9BOW 1 There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!

Ham Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Water conditions were honestly pretty awful. Being local, I would not have fished those conditions IF I was fishing solo. Given that everyone made an effort to get here, we put our heads down and made it happen. We all caught fish. Nice fish. Pretty fish. Some big fish. but about 1/3 as many as we should have had we had good water. I've gotten quite spoiled by the shear numbers that the White produces. I guess I needed to reset my expectations. But the real point of these get togethers is to meet some of our OA brothers and share their company. It is my pleasure to spend time with this outstanding group of gentlemen. Crappy water conditions did not impair that at all. I really enjoy these get togethers. It really is one of the best events in my year. It was nice to (finally) get to meet Bill Babbler. I'm glad N9BOW got to make the trip down. I'm looking forward to seeing his place on the lower river come together. I hope I get a chance to learn some fly fishing from SIO3 in the not to distant future. This was my first time to get to fish with Quillback. He did great, but he's always done well on these trips. Phil Lilly made the trip down as well. He was as quiet as ever, but as generous as ever also. I got to spend more time with LRF, Griz, and Terrierman. I think I would get in real trouble if I lived closer to any of them. I'm sure I would love every minute of it though. Simply outstanding men. I'll never tire of their company. Richard Cross was nice enough to send down a bunch of his new HD Zig Jigs and some Zig Jig hats. I tried to get everyone there some jigs and I hat. If I screwed up and missed someone please PM me and I will make it right. Thanks Richard! Thank You to Phil Lilly! I know that maintaining the forum takes a lot of effort. It's very unlikely that I would have met any of these great people if OA wasn't in existence. Ham BilletHead, grizwilson, N9BOW and 2 others 5 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

Quillback Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Dang it, I must have missed Miles singing again! I'll try and get my pics posted later this AM.
snagged in outlet 3 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I had a great time too. The water conditions Saturday were quite honestly, terrible. I can't ever remember in 50 years the water being so dirty. Couldn't see a brown/orange jig 4 feet down in the water. Still a great time. I don't mind caddying for Brett!! SIO3
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted December 6, 2015 Root Admin Posted December 6, 2015 I wrote this Friday after we got back but didn't post it by accident. Glad everybody caught fish. And glad to hear Ham had trouble with numbers... cause we thought it was us. The one thing I found is if I got my jigs deep, let them sink longer, I'd get bit more often. I also lost more jigs. Ham 1
grizwilson Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Tough fishing, but still a Great time with a bunch of great guys and fishermen. Look forward to this every year. Riley's is a neat place to stay, Very nice folks N9bow's beautiful colored rainbow A 22" brown, still owe Terrierman a dollar for the net job! . Terrierman warming up and visiting with LRF at the lodge, Great Food, many stories and ideas shared, a blast N9BOW and Ham 2 “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein
Terrierman Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Conditions were even worse today. More flow and more color. Griz and I did one drift at Buffalo Shoal and went home. I still had a great time, the people make the event. And the food. And the music. Plus we got to meet a new good guy too. Welcome to the Jig Fest Eric! grizwilson, N9BOW and Ham 3
