No kings for the good Doc yesterday, but caught platinum chums til my elbow ached.
13 for 14 on C-H-R-O-M-E piggies today. Caught kings every which way my guide Blake McHenry and I tried.... swinging flies on the double hander thru moving tide fish, twitching weighted flies under an indicator thru frogwater (think like gear guys twitching jigs), stripping leeches thru holding fish in a deep run, and of course.... backtrolling Kwiks and Mag Warts thru the tidewater travel lanes. The Ripley sickles went 5 for 6 today.... would've remained 100% if I didn't totally lose contact with a HOT HOT HOT platinum torpedo three separate times during the battle. Finally threw the hook when he came up for a somersault! As Parker would say, that fish ripped me a new one!
Another dozen or so chums on the single and double hander.
One nice rainbow on the double-handed swung fly.
A double on hooligan backtrolling Tammy Fae.
Shoulder got a nice break while reverting to the Dark Side.
More of the same tomorrow with same guide... but this time Sage Prostaffer George Cook is comin' along for the ride.
