Zero to Hero in one day

  The weather looked perfect for Thursday, cloudy in the morning and cold, OK olives in Coburn? Arrived by 7:45 AM and had a hard time finding fish eating on top, ok give them a bit longer to get going- not so much. Checked Stan's pool, the Bend Pool and the Bridge Pool few if any were up but some at Stan's looked ok, there was not anything to speak of on the water so I knoted on a Slate Drake emerger and began to spot a few fish that looked nice, everyone of them was a dink! This was not what I was looking for should have gone to Bald Eagle for Trico's but that's what happens when you get greedy, I want that Olive hatch again.
  Got in the car, waders and all and beat it to Johnson's Pool, they were up and eating Slate Drake emergers big time, took quite a few really good browns and missed a 20+ fish TWO times! I just reacted too fast to the big fish taking my fly on a downstream take, believe me the next two fish I almost jerked both of them out of the water on atomic hook sets, I had to sit down and calm down after that. Well everything was going well and I was working my way downstream till the cold front came in, bright sun and wind-DONE.
  I was correct in my time with the clouds but not correct in the location, ok I'll have better judgement next time- no I will not, it's a gussing game and we all try to vary our diet of streams and specific locations that we go to hoping that it's the one that will bring us the most pleasure.
  All my fish came on a #14 Loop Winged floating Stale Drake fished dead drift, hell I tried to get the big guy up on Ants, Beetles and a Crane Fly but he would have nothing to do with them, next time I'll be calmer, bull shit I'll do the same thing again if he gives me one of those slow lazy downstream rise forms the I'll be Zeron again.
