you gotta love days like this. We get to the creek and I see a fish rise as I am gearing up. We try a few small dries, then a few big dries. Nothing. I tie on a white wooley bugger cast straight across. Splash! Fish on....and off.
A few more casts and we head on downstream. I love this creek. Every bend is new potential for success. We continue on and keep using the white wooley bugger. I see a few fish following it but no more bites. We stop for lunch and a quick diaper change.
I decide that we're not getting the fly deep enough. I tie on a black wooley bugger with a cone head. Second cast....Bam! Fish on! I strip it in close to shore. The fish beaches itself, throws the hook and flops its way back into the depths. Kind of a catch bit not really. Over the next half hour I have more fish chase and hit my fly than I'd care to admit.
. At one point I looked into the water and saw two browns just sitting there waiting for me to catch them. Sounds easy enough but not so when your fishing partner keeps tossing stones into the water.
Can't wait to do it all over again!
