t.r.- after school fishing

got home from school today, and decided i would allow myself about an hour's
time for play before hitting the books. naturally i felt that hour would
best be utilized by fishing, so i headed a few minutes down the road to one
of my favorite streams. Since i had so little time, i carefully chose which
sections of the stream i would fish, and after doing so proceeded to cast a
fairly large, (don't know what size) orange attractor fly. i cast my fly
along the bank opposite myself, and let it drift downstream past a feeding
channel, and under the bridge. i knew i was casting unconventionally, but
since i had had success with this strategy in the past, i went with it
today. the evening was gorgeous, and the sun was sparkling on the water,
which was clear enough to view the colorful rocks, which mirrored the hues
of the fallen leaves that were drifting down the stream. even if i didn't
catch a fish, this would be a worthwhile trip. well, lucky me. i got to
enjoy the best of both worlds. i hadn't been out there ten minutes when i
hooked into a beautiful little 6" brookie. she put up a fairly good fight,
but i turned her sideways, which stilled her, and removed the hook, which
blessedly came out as if exiting soft butter.

it's amazing how much satisfaction there is to be found in such a short
period of time.

Sometimes those short trips are the best ones, especially if you need a
bit of "down" time. You and I are fortunate to live so close to good
fishing water as to make that possible.

good on ya snake, but just think how much more of a fight you'd get with
those little brookies if you'd junk that damned kpos and get a nice little
2 wt to match them little fishies. anybody got a spare 2 wt? bseg

uhhhhh. . . you did mean Friday, right? I was trapped in IT hell until
about 1800, and had to return to work at 2100 to correct what I missed earlier.
But I *AM* going out to the secret spot (or downstream) today regardless. The
computer room can KMA.
