A Wonderful Day

Fished Coburn area Thursday April 26, in a long tail out section of one of the larger holes, the fish were taking Gray Fox/March Brown emergers, no one around for a 100 yards and rising fish everywhere, on the bank and mid stream. Took every fish but 3 that rose, those guys were close to rocks and I think the drift was way off, good ones to mark. Took some very nice fish, they seem to fight really good in this section. The wind came up and I moved upstream to a section that I have looked at but never fished. As soon as I got in the water I saw rising fish everywhere, #16 Tan Caddis were dancing on the water, like shooting ducks in a barrel, just hit them and they took the fly. The fly of choice was a Iris Caddis, I talked to some young guy at the fly shop and he never heard of the fly or for that matter Craig Mattews at Blue Ribbon, don't they require a history course? He questioned that amount of fish that I landed based on the time I was on the water, silly kid! We talked about CDC and he asked where to get it, I said Rene Harrop, again another blank, don't these young guys know anything out of their area? Sad to say we might just have to have them read a certain number of books and take a history lesson if they want to join our club or better yet have them take their I phones on the golf course and stop taking up space on the water.
