Back in the Water

So much water, so little time.

I had a chance to return to blogging. and wanted to record my fishing with my friend Allen.

We had a great day of fishing before the rain Wednesday.

We fished from 6:00 till 11:00 and I caught four ..... One 11 inches and one 12 inches

Alan hooked up twice using 6x tippet and broke his fly off both times. He also caught a 15" Brown

We fish a hatch for about an hour with no luck. So I switched from my #20 trico emerger to a #18 adams which yielded me two 9 inch trout. They sipped it from the top of the water.

I tried some larger sulfers with no luck.

Then Allen's water started to boil with rising trout but he was not hooking up.

So I reverted back to the #20 trico and put on the smallest split shot in my case. I positioned it (black plastic coated lead) onto the line about 3 inches above the fly. Then put a strike indicator about 20" above that.

I cast one time into his water and hooked up.

I moved downstream into a run and hooked up again using the same setup. I had Allen move into my run with the same 3" drop emerger and he hooked the last fish.

After 10:00 the fishing dropped off to nothing and they rested on the bottom of the hole.
