The seal is broken

So I finally had time to shoot up after work, meaning I get there at about 5:45. I went to the  place that has easy access as I had no time to walk anywhere. I got a good spot and managed one good hit and one that was iffy. I also had a little steel hit my fly when I stopped to tighten the reel down, needless to say it was one jump and off.    There was very little fishing going on  , some catching going on and a fair number of fish, most looked small. Some a&& hat across from me  snagged 2 little rainbows  about a foot long. He was whooping and hollering about how he just caught ''little steel''. I yelled over on the second  ''good fishing over there you must be proud''.  Now that I have broken the seal it is all over, I need to go back, it's like crack..........

Well glad you got out Clint , sorry to hear about the crack . Break that habit asap.
Hope the river treats you kind .
Weather related ? Yes !! I been released to roam the woods , highways and waters again . Heading to higher country west of me tomorrow for walk in the woods .
Back again Friday for a stay in the woods and SNOW is in the forecast, given the elevation, probably snow sat & sat night . Last year we had snow there already, hum things are late again .. Lol

No rehab for me either, Clint. I need a fix soon. Great to see you went.

Yes Tunes glad you're feeling better.
 
 
Clint after work tonight (Wed)?

Yes Wednesday. Probably going Friday too.

Wearing a brown trout themed  buff pulled up over your face, and matching  fishing gloves cuts down on the glare so your Maui Jims work better. Do Jim Teeny wannabees fish integrated heads? I thought that was his big thing to reach the perfect level. Guys out west call him the ultimate snagger. It's pretty accurate that many use his techniques of nymph fishing and lose the drift, even though he's very adamant about the use of glasses.  I used a few of his  lines in the salt, but they were way to thin and coily for my purposes. Interesting read. I never thought about people on the SR  utilizing his methods. Just figured it was put on weight til the drift stops dead and drifts no more.  Get a new camera, please.
 
 

My steelhead buff just arrived in the mail yesterday. Now I can really look like a fisherman on the SR. Unfortunately my gloves are on back order till after the new year. I'll only be a want a be till then.  

It certainly shouldn't frighten them away.
 

Good luck, Clint, I'm hopin' for you. I'd be happy with a few steel jumps .

come on 2b, you walked from Pville to db's but the UFZ was to much ? Heck even Jack finds it a wonderful stroll on the banks .. You took a wrong turn somewhere..
 
I put 8 miles on foot in the woods yesterday covering about 1/2 of our hunting property.. Hope to visit the other 1/2 this weekend with friends, not charts 

Wayne I heard that story... Man that's a good one :). Glad to hear guys are getting out. I'm probably gearing up to target chrome either Monday or Tuesday of next week :D

So I got up at first light and was able to get a few hits, but nothing stuck. I was finally able to get a good take and land this Ho. I also played with a few steel and other Ho's that jumped and spit.
As the morning went on the anglers increased and I think I know why.
It seems like every time I go I complain about something or observe something not quite right. Well today îs  no different. Are folks so stupid and ignorant they do not know a fish I foul hooked????????? Had a guy across from me hooking up left and right. He was the know all type, lecturing to those across the river on which fly was '' working''  of course they were eating it up an switching flys at his command. Almost every fish was fouled. It's pretty easy to get hook ups when every fish leaves the rap**** and sits in front of you. CAST SWEEP LIFT. That's it. Pretty easy to tell when the tail end is facing up stream and that is the direction the fish is moving too. They move sideways through the water too.  Different folks same stuff. People above me, they would be chasing a fish and I would tell them ''  it's hooked in the dorsal, you ain't gonna turn it around in the fast water.''   I would get excuses like '' It was a good hook up there, the line wrapped around it'' or ''that's not my hook in it's ****'' I would just laugh and wait for the line to snap or for them to get wet. It was a humorous morning.  I basically had a real nice stretch to myself so to each their own.
I left and hit a few other spots from mid river up to the ball park and saw and had no luck.
 
I guess you can put nothing with letters 1D in it anymore.

Cool. Ho-tastic! Sounds like me in the Joss a few weeks ago. Why don't we just make a recording?
Break it off, it's hooked in the azz, repeat, break it off it's hoo....

I left at around 1100 I think. At 0930 it was probably the peak of #'s people.  I was standing on the rocks at the tail. I took turns fishing the tail and the rifles right down from the tail. Had that whole area to myself.

Got to love  photobucket for adding whatever that is at the bottom!
