Ollie fest ?

[trythisonemv]

Well I fished ollie fest today and get the stream cred. I was the o n ly human down there lol. Caught a lot of fish. 10 rainbows of varying size and a dozen browns all the smallest little things you've ever seen. Wooly bugger in tan and olive got it done today with a barely legal getting the best fish a 12 in rainbow. Did see two enormous browns one about 22 and one that weighed probably 5 pounds didn't catch either.  Man I finally get streamcred and no noses to rub it in lol 😂 mo

Congrats on a nice fishing and catching day! Surprise that you were the only. You did keep alive the tradition of fishing Capps crk the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

Please keep this going, and post a reminder next year.   Ive been wanting to participate for many years and it just doesn't work wirh family.   ....of course this year I probably could have squeezed it in.  Congrats on the cred.

I just didn't have it in me this year to do it. Shoot, every year I post about it only 3 people ever consistently show up. I just kind of gave up on it this year. That and I was dead tired from working all week last week. I thought about it, but the body was just saying no. Congrats on the fish you caught trythisonemv. I did go down there the week before and scouted it out. Lots of shallow holes now from the recent floods. That, and I lot of trees down on the lower end. Kudos to you this year.

Lots of down trees for sure ollie.

Every year I hear about this I think, 'Maybe next year.'  It would be nice to meet some more of the members here, and I'd also like to explore that area more. I've only fished just below the mill and down as far as I felt I could without getting myself in trouble. Our family did many reunions down at Roaring River, and we typically stopped at Jolly for a bit on the way.
