I don't believe you can buy a quality hook to tie on for a nickel anymore.  Hook and rest of materials, you've likely got a quarter in anything more complicated than a glo bug.

Yer back.
So did the specks cooperate?
Do tell!

Roller coaster weather, driven off the pond by 9 AM by the heat and sun on Friday, heat stroke trying to bushwack to some stream fishing midday, could not get back on the water for evening until the sun dropped below the trees around 6 PM.  I got a couple,  friend from ENY did very well for the short time we could be out with 6 in the AM and a few more in the evening. Saturday was perfect until noon, both got many fish, mainly on a caddis pupa, went back to camp for lunch and stood under tarp watching 2 hour monsoon, returned to pond and it cleared, ENY friend and friend from Pulaski who came in on daytrip both got fish, I got best of trip for me, 13" on Royal Coachman wet fly, and a couple of others, lots of missed bites even using a yak paddle instead of oars.  Sunday AM, a few bites, but by then I think every fish in the pond had seen the flies a few times and many had felt the sting.  Almost no hoppers around, and only a few rises to imitations, muddlers and micky finns did not excite fish, the two we kept had a mass of small clear midge larvae in them, but small patterns did not get action.  Mainly caddis pupa, did see some of the big orange brown fall caddis around the lantern at camp.  While not the onslaught of hits of last year, still much better fishing than I have had many times in there.   And a very relaxing mini vacation, would really like to spend a couple of weeks back in one of these years.

DSR reports "a little better" , hopefully Sat.'s suicide run will get us to see a few and maybe even hook one. My Comet and Intruder box has more colors than a clown car, it's time to fish and make the tying try to pay off! 

Good luck to you fichy.
Didn't take the trip this morning.
3a m and I'm pulling stuff apart looking for my reel with the 8# on it.
Put it somewhere for vaca thinking I might throw streamers at pike and have no clue where it is.
 
 
Sounds like a nice trip Chuck.
Sounds like the brookies played nice enough.

It could have snowed for three days and it would have been a good trip, there is really no bad time in the Daks, although I've been through some pretty scary microbursts.  Definitely fish memories to get by on in the winter.
 
Time to get ready for fall, car died for any trips, shopping now, need to line up ducks for weekdays.

Absolutely !!! I have a burial ( ash ) spot in the ADKs , just hope the wife can find it ..
Sounds like a great time indeed, thanks for sharing the memory and maybe a pic too .
I'm heading up myself in a few weeks hoping for some moving water action ..
Sucks about the car. It's been battery crazy here. Friday morning truck was dead, transferred everything to car and it was dead. I put a new battery in boat 3 weeks ago and atv 2 weeks ago.
Fall is coming then ICE :)

Hey lucky are you looking new. I usually negotiate for my family.  I just negotiated for one for dad, got $3200 of msrp. Pm me if you are going that way I have a few tactics that have worked on the last few.

Sounds like a great time, Lucky. I caught a damsel hatch on a  mountain  pond above Lake George about a month ago, it was a blast, but nothing bigger than 12". I had Nancy drop off some float tube  fins for a friend heading into a Vt. pond for 3 days. I hope I get to put on the backpack and head in   before the season ends.  I caught a few good steelies last fall on Pumpkin Caddis pupae. Hey, they were in the air, I figured they were still some down low. I'll be looking for them again.

Charlie starting to shape up for us according to DSR report hoping it's our lucky day

I read somewhere there was a good pod of fish mid river today. I hope you guys find some to play with where ever you fish .
Good luck

We might have to bring our own rock.    Lots of guys chomping at the bit....  Still early, I think we'll still have a little space with some hiking. Ain't long til your netting Rob's fish, HT.
