Had a half-day trip with a couple of high school football players (lineman ) both pretty much first time fly fisherman. It had to be funny seeing the Old Towne Predator floating by with me in the middle rowing those 2 guys.( Insert exteme sweating emoticon here)

To boot we started off the day with a nice row upstream about 1/4 mile to Lamb Shoal. One of the guys I was told was just "fishy" and he smacked 2 within his first 10 casts, both 'bows and both probably around 12". Missed several, several more hits at Lamb on a Slumpbuster before we moved on.

Rolled a couple at McKee bridge but lost them due to the "IHAVEAFISHWHATDOIDO" period of one of them hooking their first fish in FAST water.

Hensley treated us well, but Rainbow Alley didn't even produce a look....told them to go back there that evening.

All in all for an August day of 97 degrees the bite was pretty good and the boat traffic is slowing down pretty good now. A month from now there will be very little floating going on...right when fishing should be picking up
