No, that is not the message I took away. I must be one of those fly fishing purist masochists you mentioned. Or at least I am well on my way to being one. 😁

Don’t mind JoeD. He gets a little belligerent in the wee hours.

I didn't, which is why I responded with humor...

BSC is a sweet little creek and worthwhile to fish. It's a challenging environment. I'd fish it more if it was closer.

Hopefully you learned that you don’t need waders in September and you shouldn’t waste your time at Blue Spring Creek. 

Apparently it’s a Mecca for fly fishing purist masochists.

Good luck. Pictures of minnows that can fit in the palm of your hand are well worth it.

Pictures I've seen of that stream it does look like a challenge. It wants a 6' rod and 12' leader me thinks. Places like that the trout (and other fish) flee from any shadow that passes over.  I figure that's because fish eating  birds make moving shadows. Any wading I'd do in an upstream direction and only count on one cast per hole.

It sounds like you  had a nice day and learned what a bleeding shiner looks like, so you can mark that off your life list. A couple other little fish are similar, but as John said the vertical band next the gill cover ; lipstick and a collar define this one.

Mr Flysmallie might be on to something. I’ve certainly been called worse, especially by my wife.

However, in my feeble defense, I have not called anyone, anytime, on this forum, a “name.”

No points given for being too phoney to say what you think.   😉

You’re like our Don Rickles, but without the big smile and hug afterwards.  And, without the smile and hug, Don Rickles was a jerk. But, I’m not saying you’re a jerk. I’m saying finish!

Resident douche bag

Don Rickles without the smile and hug

phoney

Hmm. Obviously I need to reassess my negative worldview attitude and compulsive need to type sourness into a fishing forum.

Thank you. I’m feeling better already!

BSC is just sublime for those who appreciate fly fishing at its best!

😃

The thing is, you fellers didn’t disagree with my original statement.

You were offended by my delivery. Therefore allowing you to personalize your feelings about me, instead of challenging my opinion about the subject.

Hmm.

But.

Starting to see the light though...

Let the healing begin!

 

BSC! A gem of a stream for those who love pretty minnows. Keep them pictures coming!
