MrsDucky Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Well, the weather was perfect on Saturday. A little chilly in the morning, but perfect with a jacket! We only had about a dozen people drop by, but it was fun. Duckydoty, Kneedeep and Old Stumbler, Rolan and Ellen Duffield, Troutchaser, Leonard, and various friends and "lurkers" were there. We had fun fishing, trading fishing stories, and I got some great tips on fly tying from Kneedeep and Duckydoty! Thanks, guys! We all managed to land a few fish in the area. I caught mine on an olive wooly bugger (thanks, Mark!), and John caught some on Duckydoty's "secret" midge, and egg patterns. Lots of hits, nothing super huge! John was amazed that he could have fun fishing away from the outlet. We waded down to Big Hole, and had several bites and landed some, too. Rolan was kind enough to take John and I out on his boat that afternoon. Neither of us had ever fly fished from a boat, and we enjoyed it very much! It was a new feeling, and we missed a LOT of bites, but we all landed at least 2. (That was me...the fellows landed many more!) By the way, thanks to Bill Babler for the advice on the pink...worked like a charm! Rolan hooked us up with pink microjigs that had the fish biting like crazy! We got most of the hits upstream, over the bar, but had hits at many points, including right off of Lilly's dock coming in. Although it many sound a little weird, I can honestly say it was the best anniversary weekend I've had! (It was our first anniversary on Sunday.) Thanks to everyone who helped make Saturday a success! 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!
MrsDucky Posted May 23, 2007 Author Posted May 23, 2007 I nearly forgot! Duckydoty and Mr. Ducky went fishing Friday night. Appearantly the horn sounded, and Mr. Ducky hit the trail! When he knocked on the door, he had his waders around his knees, a scared look in his eye, and simply said, "The horn went off!" 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!
Snow Fly Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Was it the "BIG HORN"? "God gave fishermen expectancy, so they would never tire of throwing out a line"
