Report 8/3

[Tiger Tom]

Hiked down Suicide at about 2:00 Friday afternoon, and ran straight into a group of courteous floaters. Several groups of canoes came through until about 5:00, but all were friendly, none drunk, and lots of kids with parents. Fish were in the deep riffles and close to the bank--caught a nice 15 in bow on a leech, and several more on a Madame X. The red ear really liked the Madame X as well, until a large smallmouth beat them to it. He was about 14 in. and quite a tug on my 4 wt. Caught a few browns about 3/4 miles above the suicide stretch, biggest was about 14 in., but very healthy and colorful. No hatch at dusk, but by then I was ready to get out of the heat!

Glad to have a Friday afternoon without drunks and nasties--can't say enough about the courtesy of the folks that floated through today.

Glad to hear you had fun! I plan on making a trip down there in the next couple of weekends. Fished there for the first time about 6 weeks ago on a Saturday evening. Ran into a couple of floaters who were also very courteous....I was surprised since it was a Sat!!
