November Gathering?

[ollie]

Rules of engagement huh. I did say something about braggin rights didn't I? That one will come back and bite me in the butt! I like the One fly sort of, but I would like more of the same fly or jig. Way too many trees on the bank and in the water. Normally I try and keep it simple and just go by size and count. I'll plan on just bringing myself and a lunch, but if others decide to go they need to let me know so I can pick up brats and beans.

My wife and I'll will be there. Don't know if the granddaughter will attend or not.

Hey guys, I read your posts and thought I'd add a report from last Sunday. Started at the lowest bridge and worked my way up. I caught 3 nice 13 inch rainbows just up from the bridge on a thread jig. Didn't catch anything else until I got above the old farm road that crosses the creek. I caught a couple more nice sized Rainbows pretty quickly again on the jig, but quickly changed over to a Renegade because there was the beginning of a hatch and fish were busting all over. First cast I caught a pretty little Brown. That got me going. I ended up catching 8 more Browns and 4 more Rainbows in about an hour and a half. The Browns ranged from about 8" to 12".All on dries( Adams, Blue winged olives, and Renegades). The best day I've had for them on Capps. I wonder if they might be wild because some were pretty small? I've seen a couple of BIG Browns over the years in this little creek, and the hatchery guys told me that there are some monsters in it. I hope to catch one some day but they are all fun.

I must have missed you then. I was on the top part all of the time. I'm thinking maybe we have met down there before? Last year? You drive like a tan sivlerado? Meet up with us for a few hours. That will give me an excuse to grill some brats!

Sounds good to me. I was planning on fishing somewhere that weekend anyway. I drive a Tan Ford pickup,and we probably have met at Capps. I usually rotate weekends between Capps and Hickory this time of year, and occasionally I'll get down to R.R. for some C&R, not that I ever keep any trout. Except for the one I caught almost 2 years ago at Hickory. A Golden Rainbow Trout that weighed almost 8 LBs., he's hangin' on the wall right now.I'll keep my eyes out for you on the creeks. I haven't decided which one I'll hit this sunday. I hope they have both been stocked this week. Let me know if you find out.

Ok then, lets take a count. mrbuzib1, KFF and wife, chub, and me. Still have time to get in on this everybody! I'll get off cheap just buying some brats and beans! lol Can everyone meet by nine? Let's say over by the mill.

[chub minnow]

We can probably make it by 9-ish. I'll probably have the wife as well. Thats six total? Sounds like we need a couple more for a pack of brats.

[ollie]

drew, haven't heard from you yet. Figured you can't make it? If it does rain we can reschedule for everyone.

[Buzz]

Nine is good for me. Ollie did you see the picture of the Brown that I posted on the Shoal Creek forum?

That brown was from Capps or Hickory? I've caught browns at Capps, but not Hickory. Anyone want to bring some other food chime in! It would help out.

Thanks
