MrsDucky Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 We headed down today with two purposes: #1: to get some "neccessities" from Tim #2 to have some fun fishing! We knew John was going to buy a reel, and I was getting a new vise, but we also found a few more things we couldn't do without. (John told me Happy Mother's Day and Happy Anniversary as we left...does that mean no more presents this month???) We headed down to Zone 2, below the c-n-r area, and had some luck. I lost another PMS fly! Those darn trout love those there! We also lost 3 Griffith's gnats, because they were really hitting the dry flies. Possum Child was having fun, but he didn't realize when he had a bite. We also had some hits on the Son of Sam, zebra midge, and I had some nibbles on an olive wooly bugger, just no solid hits. I think I count as a rainbow trout now, though...when my arms are at my sides, I have these red stripes...In light of another recent thread, does it seem right that they sell sunscreen with anise, advertised to attract fish??? All in all, we got what we "needed" and had fun. A great day! I can bring home the trout...fry it up in a pan...and never let you forget I caught it! 'Cause I'm a woman!
Terry Beeson Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Mrs D... Were you stripping the woolies? If so, I got a piece of advice not long ago that might help. When they are biting short like that, start raising your rod tip during the strip. This puts some slack in the line and allows the fish to "suck in" the fly better. I tried it on Taney and seems to work well... Sounds like a good trip and MrD didn't fall in?... OH... and I bet he forgot to tell you... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
