Default Fly fishing TR

Yeah, this ain't some bait chuckin' babe posting, so if you don't like it you
can eat my shorts. "Shorts" - is that okay to say here, or will someone get all
huffy cuz I mentioned my undergarments? ;-)

I took off early from work today for an hour or two of quality time at the
river. It turns out it was quality time, indeed. Absolutely no one else showed
up the entire 2 hours I fished, and the weather and water couldn't have been
better. The winning fly of the day was Josh Rosenblat's Olive Hare's Ear Nymph
( http://tinyurl.com/3gz4k ) - thanks Joshua. Caught two nice 14" 'bows on that
fly right where George told me the fish would be. Of course, I didn't know he
told me that until I got back from fishing and checked my email - must be that
telepathy thingy. I tried to take a photo of one to share, but after bringing
the fish to hand twice while I tried to snap a photo, I decided I'd better just
quit stressing the fish and let it go. Fortunately, it still had plenty of fight
after the third time. I'll get better at camera juggling as the year progresses,
but these were my first trout of the year so cut me some slack.
