January Flyfishing!
On the 7th of January my duck hunting partner, Jason, agreed to take me out to learn how to fish nymphs with an indicator. And, pardon the pun, I'm hooked!! Talk about a neat way to fish, and it's just about as addicting as steelheading. Something about watching a float go by you in the river just waiting....waiting....waiting for it to go under water is hard to walk away from. Even at 33 degrees and one leaky leg of some borrowed waders kept me out there for a solid four hours....and I only hooked one whitefish!! Jason got two gorgeous cutthroat, which kept me interested in remaining there as well.
I think I was using a size 28 nymph at the time which is the tiniest fly I've ever had tied on my line. Think pencil tip size!! All in all, it was a pretty good day.
But now it's getting even colder and we're hoping the ice forms back up. Already talking about going to a little frost-pocket of a lake Saturday morning....but, we'll see. I've been playing an awful lot lately.

Believe it or not, the water DROPS off right beyond him and he's darn near 7 feet tall!
The side channel is often overlooked

Take my word for it: You'll never look back and remember 98+% of those meetings you go to and you'll never forget some of those fish you catch. Must be a reason for that.
So true, so very true. I can easily recount the stories of fish caught and/or lost. All day meeting yesterday...all really remember is "whah whah whah whah."
