TR: October fishing

Well, it feels like October, anyway. 50 degrees, sunny, and a little
breezy, and a new rod burning a hole in my closet combined to make a
necessity for fishing today. However, the trip was more of a walk along
the river than anything, but it's not often us New England folk get a
chance for that in January.

I cast a little, mostly with buggers and streamers, but found little
(size 20 or so) dark green nymphs (yeah, that's as scientific as I get)
flourishing around the stones. I tied a few matching patterns on, but
had as much success with those as the buggers and streamers. Mainly I
wanted to check out the performance of my new Sage DS 485-4 and was
quite pleased. It cast the buggers with ease and made good presentation
with the small stuff. I think I'll like this rod.

I ran into no one else on the portion of the river I fished, and it was
a pleasure just to be out on it again. Happy 2005, roffdom.

Them leopard trout *are* wily...skunking people way up there too...

A reminder to folks that Sage is replacing the DS2 line with "Launch"
rods, so it may be possible in the next few months to pick up some
bargains on the DS2s......

Thanks for the TR. Always nice to read this time of year.

That's why I bought one. Great price from Waldo.

Thanks for the TR. Always nice to read this time of year.

.. . . and an absolute joy to be able to write. We're heading back to the
below-20 degree weather tonight, and, regardless of what they do in
Nawth Cakalacky, I don't fish where there are icicles.

In a few minutes I am going to put on my shorts and sandals and drive the hour
up to Lake Texoma to fly fish for stripers. It is now in the lower 60's and
should warm up to a very comfortable temp before I am thru fishing this
morning.
