Any fish I don't see and lose was a gar. Pure and simple, I lost a big gar. My mistake it was a Gar. 😀 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DFoster 0 Report post Posted August 30 These smallies were caught on Saturday morning with a #6 Royal Coachman streamer. Not big but they were hard fighters with lots of jumps, great fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFoster 0 Report post Posted September 11 Yesterday I got rained out on the way to my Small Mouth river, but on Saturday I found an absolute gem of a brook. This is a cold, high gradient Brook Trout stream in the local hills and I got to do some true “blue line” fishing. Super spooky fish in shallow clear water meant lots of cast from a kneeling position behind cover. The trout we’re willing to take dries and I caught all of these on #12 Gray and Royal Wulffs. I ended up netting 4 and losing a really nice one on what was apparently a poorly tied knot. A few others just missed the fly. The Brook Trout were starting to show their fall colors.

niveker 0 Report post Posted September 12 Sadly, I've been out very few times this year. Hopefully things will settle down in the next 4-6 weeks and I'll be able to get out before the weather turns. In the meantime, I'll fish precariously through these posts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFoster 0 Report post Posted September 18 My wife and I are nearing the end of a major home renovation which consumed massive amounts of my free time over the past several years. I'll put a post about it in the lodge section. It's always a balance for me to make time to fish vs adulting. IMO from Labor Day to Thanksgiving is the best fishing of the year and not to be traded being a grown up unless no other option exist. A house project once forced me to miss fishing the entire Autumn save one September day. I finished the house just as the weather turned nasty and I promised myself to not to let life do that to me again. I resolved that I would make at least a few hours to fish each week, the next project (and there always is another one) can wait a little while more. I hope that things, whatever they are, do slow down for you and allow you to get some stream time in during this glorious season! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
