I received that text today that all of us fly fishers hope for on the way home from work on Friday afternoons. No not the one that says I got fired, although that would have been nice too. It was the one that said the wife is going out and the kid is at grandma and grandpa's house.
Fish on suckers!!
Remember that set up from the other day when I only had 6 flies in my truck? Well that was my option so I went with it.
I didn't get started until about 6 but it was good timing. I still had no waders but I hit a few holes by castle rock that I knew I could access without em'. First hole, missed a couple bites on the subsurface and 1 on top. Put em down due to constant casting from their side view and moved on. Again, I had no tools so I was forced to use my 3' deep rig in a 1' hole. Deciding that this wasn't cutting it, I reeled in and adjusted (teeth don't fail now). I set my depth for shallow and fished away.
A couple more casts and I was covered in moss. I pulled in, pulled the moss off, and cast again. I noticed soon that my midges were gone and now I only had a size 16 tan stimmy.
That worked great. I caught two or three before the sun was too far to see my fly. That's a wrap.
Better put more flies in my truck.
Tight Lines.
