My Fishing Report 1/26/08

[soggyfeet]

Finally got down there about 1pm and started down by the big hole. Landed 1 brown(my first ever) about 8 in on a green scud I think(not real sure what the thing was called). Moved up to the rebar where it was bumper to bumper fishing. Had a few takes but no hook-ups on a black and silver zebra midge. Continued fishing all the way up to outlet 1 squeezing in where I could. I threw everything including the kitchen sink and no dice. Took a break and got back on the water about 5 and started throwing a pinesquirrel with 5x tippet and lost that real quick.(they hit that hard and that was the only one I had). Went to the truck a got me other rig with heavier line and tied on some of the garbage i have been tieing and finally landed a small bow about 12in. It was some sort of peach thing kind of like a bugger. I saw some people doing all right but for the most part it was a slow day for everyone I talked to and saw. Stopped into Backcountry Outfitters on the way and they gave me some pointers and set me up with a few flies(good guys). All in all i guess it wasnt a bad day I caught my first brown and caught my first fish on a fly I tied.

Sorry I missed you yesterday at the shop I would have loved meeting you heck I might have just went fishing with you if i were in town.

Isn't pretty cool to tie a fly and catch a fish on what you tied, thats what it is all about congrats.
