Well, it’s been along time, too long, since my last report. After buckling down with school for the semester and suffering from some setbacks with my back, coupled with a torn ACL, I haven't been able to spend nearly as much time on the water as I would have hoped. However, today was a much needed exception. To make things even better, I got to share the day with some of my best friends. We set out around mid morning and scouted out the scenery and as expected, the invasive species from the north was at full force. Let the combat fishing commence. The day started off slow and fishing started to get technical. We fished the Nature Center to Valco, and it had been so long since the guys got out I wanted to make sure we at least got into a little action. As we moved on the assault, I spent a lot of the time observing from the shore but was very happy to see everyone having a great time. I was thoroughly impressed with how technical Remo’s approach was, I stood back and watched him dissect one run at a time, always staying patient. Finally after spending most of the day walking we got into some good holes and were able to get things goin’. Hatches were sporadic but decent with midges front running and some BWO action. Fish seemed to be holding in the deeper runs from the pressure but were coming up to mid column to feed. Pheasant tails in size 18-20, Sweetwater midges in red/blue/black, and old reliable black beauties in size 20-22 black on black, black/red/clearbead were the patterns of choice. It felt great to get back and the brute I got into at the end of the day was just icing on the cake. I couldn’t have found a better way to have spent the day with those guys on our world class tail-water.
Tight Lines,
Clint
