I've got alot of work to do....

Recommended Posts

I'm going to a spring creek tonight, a very notable stream (at least in Western Washington) called Rocky Ford.

So I've got a ton of tying to do! I just called my friend at the fly shop and got the heads up on working fly patterns, he gave me the following list:

 

 

*Scuds

*Para-Adams #16-#18-#20's

*Ants and hoppers

*Wooly Bugger-type streamers

*Midges

*Small PT Nymphs

 

So if I don't resurface from the vice in two hours, send someone in for me! :lol:

Thanks Ian, but I only caught one fish--a 7-inch squawfish. Not exactly the species I wanted to catch. Its a Catch-and-release only stretch and so the fish are pretty darn smart, or at least smarter than me apperantly!

I've had days where you can see them but nothing is rising. No matter what you throw or how much you try to stay out of sight there just not interested. I found if you go the day before a major storm they bite like crazy, it's like they know it's coming and need to stock up for a few days. Glad you made it out.

Overcast skies, 65 degrees, and the day before a storm = best. fishing. ever.

 

Sorry to hear that Jan but you COULD be like me and spend 3 hours at the pond and not even get a bluegill :wallbash:
