TR 8-12

Sooooooo......... I went fishing today. Put in at Houseman around 730 in blanket fog. Idled my way up a ways, started fishing below Spider Creek. Picked up a few here and there until the fog broke, and it was ON!!!!

#16 UV olive sowbug was the ticket, followed by rusty midge, red midge, a few other colors in sizes 14-20. The smaller the more bites, the bigger had a couple quality fish. Caught a ton of fish, had a blast with my 3 legged buddy. Quit around 3. 

 

Btw, last 2 pics. Rainbow (i think) or oddly colored baby brown?

Looks like a brown in the last 2 pics.  A quick way to tell the difference between a brown and a rainbow, is that bows will almost always have spots on their tails, and browns do not.

Another shot.... in the water I thought brown, out of water..... not sure.

I thought it was a Brown when I saw the first post. I still do.

Man, if you can catch em there, you can catch em anywhere. Good for you!

[Quillback]

Yep, still a brown.  Can't see all of the tail, but from what I can see there are no spots on it.

You know I live 10 minutes away from Norfork right?

[jtram]

Careful, I will hit you up

[Ham]

I'm sure I could re-learn some flyrod stuff from you and show you Zig Jig stuff if the flow is UP. I'm also handy if you run into a technical issue like car or boat trouble EVEN IF I was not able to fish with you. Never hurts to know a local.

are you running a prop or a jet?  how is it getting up to spider creek?  Do you do any dragging or rock kissing on the way?
