Report 1/12

[Paola Cat]

Fished for 4 hours today. The spring branch is up, flowing fast, and off color. Zone 3 was unfishable. Fished Zone 2 .... fishing was good. Too much current to get a good drift in the middle of the stream so fished close to the bank and out of the current. Caught at least a couple dozen. Used peach and red egg patterns. Gotta give them something they can see. Fished with an indicator set at about 3 1/2 feet. Caught (1) rainbow that would push 4 lbs. Also caught (3) small browns today. Lots of small fish today. Crowds weren't too bad. Pretty cold at the siren but warmed up OK. PC

Thanks fior the report! Due to some unseen family problems looks I'll be staying home tomorrow and helping my 27 yr old son find a doctor to cast his now broken ankle. He's always got something! Sounds cruel but he's a huge problem child... oh well maybe I'll make it next sat.

Wonder if it will be running normal in a week or 2?

RC ... sorry to hear about your son. I hear ya on the problem child deal. My son hit a deer about a month ago and his SUV is still in the shop and I'm getting tired of him hanging around here.

Yesterday, the spring was up and flat gettin' with it .... I expect it will settle down pretty quick. BTW the long range forecast for next weekend shows an arctic blast coming in. Might even be too cold for the Cat to fish. We'll see. Gotta capitalize on this while I can. I've got to go to India for a couple of weeks in February and will miss at least (2) weekends. Spending this afternoon watching football, cleaning out the vest, and re-organizing the gear bag. It's amazing how much stuff you find or forgot about! PC

Pc, Looks like i'm still taking the day off to find someplace that will put a perminant cast on my son's ankle....he has no insurance. Good luck to us. I'll try to get down some sat or sun. My assistent at work is going in friday for foot surgery so I can't get any week days off for awhile. Sucks to have to work for a living. Sun is suppose to be 40 down in Lebanon so I'll just have to see. I have all my new cold gear ready to go. I don't want to be too miserable but I shouldn't with the new Polortec stuff I bought plus a new Cabela's dry plus wading jacket. I'll just keep tying flies and get down ther sooner or later.
