Time for a new thread. Off in 1 1/2 hours, it's my Friday. Gonna hit the fly shop for some leaders. Gonna pick up a couple streamers too. I normally tie my own, but haven't had a chance lately. Probably do a batch Sunday. Should have a few Caddis hatching before dark. I'm gonna use my bamboo rod with #5 line and try a fast stripping technique I've been reading about. Saw a dead 17 inch brown last week, must have spit a hook. Water has warmed since then, they should be agressive tonight.

 

That's right, rub it in :P<br><br>Got rained out on Father's Day in SW Virginia. Went up to see my Dad for the express purpose of wetting a line together. Little boat, little pond, two flyrods and then it started raining.<br><br>Ain't nothin' more fun than a smallmouth bass in a swift current on a flyrod ;D<br><br>Enjoy yourself.

 

Oh, I don't know. Something about playing a Coho (Silver) Salmon in the salt chuck with a trout rod can get the rush going. Haven't been doing much fishing lately, it's so over regulated and taxed (license fees), it's almost not worth it anymore. 2 or 3 day fishing years just don't cut it anymore.<br><br>~EnviousasallheckDave

 

I love to fly fish. Just never get the time to do it.

 

I can never find hooks small enough to catch them flies. Besides, they're quick. ;D<br><br><br>I don't fly fish, but I do love to fish for Red Drum and Speckled Trout when I can.

 

Just got back from my first fish trip this season.....four days, 6 &quot;keepers&quot;...got two Rainbows and four Kokanees. Was draggin a line, i did try fly fishing but it t'was too darned windy.<br>Cant wait to go again!

When I was stationed at Colorado Springs (way back when) I ventured onto many fine golden streams. Fabulous catch and release. <br><br>Goldenears: Use to fish up your way back in the 70's. Remember one year when Sheridan was so hot, you could walk from the shore to the center of the lake on all the boats. Another excellent fishing area.<br><br>~dave

 

Well, didn't get to the river as soon as I liked. Caddis had already started hatching, but there really weren't many fish rising. Tried a streamer first with nothing ever showing. Just before dark, some hendricksons started hatching, and a few fish started getting aggressive. I finally hooked a couple little browns. Borderline legal, but probably the prettiest little things yet this year. Gonna try again this week.
