Hot Trip 9/10/13
Fished again on Tuesday 9/10/13 on Spring Creek for guys eating Trico's and they were not great but enough fish and some tought feeding lanes were enough to make it a good morning. Took quite a few small 6 to 10" Browns and lost a few larger ones, this is techinal casting with long tippets and high hopes of landing the hooked fish after you do hook up, there were fish feeding next to downed trees and you had to float it in to them all the while never seeing your fly then try to get them out of the crap, also you never had a good angle because of the trees above but that's what makes it fun, they are difficult! I did see a fish feed between two small branches from a limb that fell into the water, well I hooked him but he broke off then began to go nuts because the leader was wrapped on one of the branches, ok take the vest off and wade up to my boobs and try to get him off, done and he was free but still had the fly and some tippet trailing. At about noon the weather changed and not for the better, high sun hot and very windy, ok we'r done for the day.
Check out this site www.flyfishfood.com they have some great tying patterns especialy " The Minners" , I have most of the materials and hooks now and will give them a try- check them out.
To Josh Miller, I'm sorry that I have not seen your e mail questions and an sorry that I have not answered them, yes I do use a GoPro mine is the older Hero model. I really need to find a better way to flim and need another person along in order for me to get some better shots, how do you use yours. Everyone complains that there is no sound but if I have sound it's not water proof. Please e mail me at jhepner@ptd.net with any questions that you might have or any suggestions you have.
Hey anyone knows where to get "med. palmer chenille" or what the name brand is?
