Fishing

Anyone headed over to the seep lakes this weekend?

I decided to make a long weekend of it and o fishing this weekend. I tied up some new flies to test out, some big brown chronies that should be close to what was hatching two weeks ago. I'll also have damsels with me in case they start.

As Trout Master trained Micro Brew two weeks ago, I have allowed a young accolyte to apprentice with me starting this weekend. I will show him the way of the leech, and hopefully, the chronie and the damsel nymph.

He will be blindfolded as we travel to the "secret lakes". Well... at least sworn to secrecy.

I'll also check out if those fish could be interested in a Prince Nymph... or if they just target big ugly things. Last time there I was using #4, 4xl to #8 subsurface flies on 8 lb leaders.

Oh wise one, check with TM to see who trained who.... me thinks you have been picking up bad info from the meditations... Grasshopper

Good luck.

hey... I heard his story first.. and then his recap of the trip. Sounded like you gave him a little "instruction".

BLAH ,BLAH,BLAH.

SNOORRIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGG

Micro Brew,

Maybe you didn't teach him everything as I notice his "signature" still asks "what is a bobber".

Dang.. you think he'd have noticed that little thing that floated his chronie.

He can't see very far so he holds it in his hand.

Yawdy,Yawdy ,Yawdy.

Micro Brew at least it takes both hands! To hold my fly rod that is

I've had to go to bigger and bigger indicators as the smaller ones are hard for me to see under certain conditions.

Do you think I may suffer from what Trout Master has?

and.. I've caught some trout that were so big I needed two hands to hold them up...<big smile>

My eye sight is getting so bad that I've thought of using beach balls for indicators

I like bright red... white gets a little hard to see in bright glare

For when I require yarn indicators I've gone to using the whole damn sheep! Can be a pain to cast though.

enough of this small talk. I'm off to begin my pilgrimage to the secret lake. I will return from this retreat on Monday morning.


ooommmmmm....

Have a good trip come back with some good stories. Opps I mean reports,.

it is nice when I begin the journey as a "returning adult" and not a "smolt".

You returning aduldt fish look funny, with that big swollen head.
