The bear eats twobob

Sucks getting old!  And it was Thursday, you are in a Tuesday groove.  And word travels fast even without the interweb.  I've heard about that spot from 3 other people who don't normally fish, but saw neighbors or co workers with fish.  Good side is, it can only get better!

All those lurkers on the board.

Looking in my tackle bag I'm often torn between two choices for the river. Tazer or bear spray?  Obviously,  you made the wrong choice today. 
Next Tuesday may put you back in form, you were this past one.

Geez, and your informant LANDED 20, lots over 10 lbs.  . I think I'll just give up.

Did I say he was lying?   No.  I'm not giving up, but I am a little bummed I  a picked time when fishing was slow and I can't get back there for awhile.  Next time you whine I'll make sure to call you on it.

yea i knew it opened but figured it to be chock full of chuckers and since its the wrong way to were i ended i didn't give it a peak.
 
hhope next time is better.
might well be my last trip for the year.
the one pull i had was half hearted unlike the rips i was getting last week and MY informent tells me he hooked a dozen the day before and only one went airborne.
could be turning into winter mode as i type.
i rarely drive that far for winter fish.
i can usually find enough without using the gas anyway.

I went back and looked at the post again.  I don't think it took Columbo to figure it out if you looked at the parking lot pix and the text.  But word of mouth filled that spot quickly even before cell phones and discussion boards.  It' like the Archers club too many fisdh and thern perople for the available water.

It is interesting how what we see of what others are doing influences our perceptions.  Yesterday, I blew out of work early and headed to a local stream that had been at flood stage Tuesday and Wednesday, but was getting back to reasonable levels.  There were a few guys in the pool adjacent to the parking lot, and I went to the other side of the stream.  Nice tailout to swing a fly through.  One of the guys across and up in the falls hooks a nice 7-8 lber, then the guy across from me hooks up, then a retired engineer I know hits a brown.  Then I'm into a big strong fish who immediately heads for the tailout lip, and I don't feel like chasing around trees and over the boulders, so I threw slack, and it was the 20% of the time when it doesn't work, so bye bye.  While I'm tying up, a guy up at the head of the pool hits another one (they were all fishing bobbers and eggs), and on one of my first drifts, I was into another one that threw the hook after a fast run across the pool.  All this lasted about 20 minutes. After that it died right down.  About 10 minutes later, a new egger shows up, fishes for about 10 minutes, and then disgustedly packs up and leaves.  I imagine he went home and told everyone there were no fish in "nopaddle creek" yet, while the rest of us probably rearranged plans for today to allow us to hit it again in hopes of another pod coming through like that.

I can relate.  She just left for a shop til you drop at Christmas Village in Hamburg, and I'm on my way to the basement to do another load of wash!  But I will sneak out later,and she was willing to let me go up north, but my truck was saying things to me that did not bode well for a long trip.  If I break down at one of the local waterholes, AAA will get me, but if I break down up north, Clyde's Garage and Jiffylube enters the picture, and possibly another orifice, financially!
