Members Sherwood Flycaster Posted January 21, 2008 Members Posted January 21, 2008 Twas a splendid day yesterday at Maramec Springs Park. Welcomed by the local baldy, it was indeed cold- but I was quite comfortable as dressed. The sun was shining by 11am and the winds were nonexistent. And the fish were agreeable as well. They were schooled up near top, occasionally surface sipping. The water, however, was rather milky compared to normal conditions. I fished exclusively at the hole just before the bathroom hole. Didnt have a reason to move, really. My intention was to walk down to the bridge and work my way back- seeing all those fish lying around nixed that thought..... WD40s, scuds and midges got me about 25 in hand (several more were foul hooked) and breakoffs of at least a dozen. I took only one break at about 2:30. No more than about 12 others braved the elements, and rare it was to see one another. Stopped fishing 2 minutes before the horn, and was greeted on the way out by a lonely and unfazed doe. A fantastic day to be fishing. Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark
patfish Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Nice SF, great report! Way better than doing honey-dos.... Where we going next weekend?

And NO honey-do's, dagnubbit! I dont want to have to hurt the K~! Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark

patfish Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Honey-dos are done. Except the studio stuff, that can be done at night, anytime. I may have to drop a tree at the rental house but I can tend to that on Saturday. Anyone else going to be down that way Sunday the 27th?
