Fish Skull Flies

Another quick Fish Skull streamer with rabbit strips.

Friday Fun

Cabin fever? Desperate to go fishing? This guy found his own little fishing hole.

Hope I am never this pressured to catch some fish!!!

First outing of the year

I managed to do my first fishing trip of the year this past Saturday. Unfortunately there is no pictures of fish because I forgot to charge my camera's batteries. It was very slow day anyway and between the two of us we only landed two Rainbow trout and a few Smallmouth bass.

We got to the water at about 8am, which is very late for us, and it was already clear at that stage that it was going to be a blistering hot day. We fished dries and nymphs the whole day but it was tough out there. We would fish a run or pool, chuck various flies without spotting any fish and as soon as we walked through we would spook a few fish.

At one stage I was walking along a very shallow pool and grabbed hold of a bush hanging in the water and about 20 fish came charging out from underneath it. I guess they felt like us and hid in any shade that was available.

We got off the water at about 11am as it was just not comfortable anymore and you could actually feel the water warming up.

I did manage to snap a few pics before my camera died on me.
