I had an absolutely awful day. The kind you just want to forget about. So I tried.
After work I hit a close spring creek.
Solitude, no wind, and a decent hatch… exactly what I needed to clear my head. The fishing was tough, but I was on autopilot. I would just be casting and then realize that I had ignored 4 or 5 good fish in a pool, rising on that hatch like their life depended on it. I got my head clear for a bit just before dark, snapped out of my trance, and promptly lost a big, big fish to a snag. I couldn’t stop him. As it grew dark it was on like Donkey Kong and I caught seven little guys.
The pics are crappy, and only of a few of the fish. I stopped taking pics because they were all just about the same.
anyways…
Pillage and plunder with a 9wt and a fist full of clousers.
