What do you guys expect at 4:30 in the AM. I was (as usual) a bit confused by the date.
TB I got that as soon as I read it, kind of fitting. Good natured ribbing at it's best.
Jack you know it is not the first or last time I will get the date wrong.
Now for the report of 3/30
Got up at 4:30 to try and get up and get the spot I wanted. Waled down at 5:20. As it turns out I was not the first one there and the only guy on the south side was where I wanted to be. Set up down a bit which was OK by me. There was about 7 folks on the other side. Guess I better get up earlier. At 6:20 I let it rip and I hooked up by 6:25. Drift boat came by at 7:15 with one officer and he yelled out that everyone was to hold their weights out for him to examine as he went by. He did not get out of the boat at all.
fished till 2:00 as I wanted to get home to watch the SU game at 4:30.
I banked 1 fish and had 6 or 8 good fights with fish that got the best of me. Flies of the day were again Little green bean caddis, peach eggs and pink steelhead hammers. Most fish were coming from the usual places and they were starting to warm up to bigger stuff. 5 to 1 ratio on of females to males from what I saw caught.
Here is my gripe for the day for the guy next me. If I offer to net 2 fish for you and take your picture the least you could do is offer to help net mine not stand there. Also I would think you would learn after tangling with me several times and several times with guys down and across from you that it's pretty rude to cast almost to the other bank and swing the whole friggen pool then let out another 50 feet of line at the end.
You've heard of hero drifts these were hero swings. The third time with the guy across he cut his fly and told him to come and get it if he wanted it. I refused to help on the 3rd fish. He left shortly after. He should stay with the other Speytards.
Crowds were not horrible where I was and a few times throughout the AM there were only 6 or 7 folks around both sides. When I left it was getting pretty full. Parking lots down to pineville had cars
Maybe tomorrow.............. Maybe not................
