For some reason Bear decided to take an interest in fishing today, other
than knockin' me off of MY rocks and smirkin' at my fishin' prowess. Bear and I decided to head over to a buddies Rv campgrounds this morn. The campgrounds is situated at the confluence of my favorite stream--Upper Creek-- and Steel Creek. I tied on a blonde parachute fly, about size 16--and, no, I have no idea what it is really called! I cast this fly about 10 or 15 times with nary a strike. So, I tied a humongous stonefly lookin' winged thing--probably a #8, on to my 5X tippet and 3wt. line. Somewhat diffficult to cast, if I do sayso myself. I did manage to catch a very nice bluegill and a smallish crappie. Managed to lose that fly somewhere in the grass around the large pool where the two streams converge. Next I tied on a Clouser Minnow, cause I had seen a good size fish (trout, I think to myself) flash me with its silvery side. However the large fish wouldn't go for my splashy winged stonefly. And since I had lost the gigantic winged thingy, I figured I'd go deep with the Clouser. About five casts into my attempt to get the Clouser out to the middle of the pool, I found myself lookin' up into the branches of a white oak tree wonderin' jus how I was gonna retrieve my Clouser Minnow. Having lost my Clouser to a tree, Bear and I crossed Upper Creek and I tied on a #12 Royal Wulff, I think? I cast it a couple of times into the Steel Creek just where it spills into Upper Creek. Suddenly a blast come out of the water and takes my little fly. I set the hook, and proceeded to fumble for my cell phone, to take a pic. The pics are over at abpf. Op |
