With a sudden opening in my schedule, my habit of storing my fishing gear in the car paid off. Instaagram again gets a nod for connecting fly fishers. I connected with @hotdishflyfish recently and shot him a message. His work schedule usually results in free days/mornings, so we met for a couple hours on his local stream.
The water was new to me. It had plenty approachable holes and runs, but the clarity was a little too clear. Even with the overcast skies, the fish were jumpy. I managed a few flashes and finally landed a standard driftless brown.
Hot Dish spend the morning casting his Blue Halo with a nymphing rig. He had a few takes that were not sticks but nothing to hand. That was fine by him. Dry hands are warms hands in the winter.
We have a warm spell coming through. That should bring the trout out to feed especially as the snow melt leads to turbid waters.
On another note, I finally gave in and bought a camera other than my phone. We will see how it goes. I've always enjoyed taking pictures, so I think the Sony a6000 will do well for me. If not, you may see it re-listed on ebay :)
Amazing article, but guys, it's actually very important to follow these tips in order to stay informed:
ReplyDelete-A stocking-foot wader is more versatile than boot-foot waders. Thus, you can consider purchasing such type of waders.
-You should select the lightest wader as possible. A lighter wader can provide you more comfort during summers.
-An insulated wader is required only if you fish in sub-freezing or near-freezing weather.
-In a simple meaning, you should purchase the most breathable, lightest wader that is made by a reputable manufacturer.
