Last 2009 Trinity Report 15 Years, 6 Months ago
|
|
After the rains, the fish were definitely on the move. I'd never seen so many rolling, but they had nookie on their minds, not eating. Can't say I blame 'em.
No one knows if the fishing will pick up, but there sure were a lot of guys out there on Friday. Some boats reported good hookups, others not. If you do decide to go, just remember that this ain't 2006 or 2007, and you'll have to work hard for anything you may hook into.
I lost one on Friday when it tangled me on a submerged tree root. I waded out to him, but he got off just as I reached the root. I did manage to pull a birds nest of mono off of the root and retrieved 5 flies. Frankly, I'd rather have landed the fish, but I did okay with this run, so I can't complain.
If any of you want some info, just PM me...even Slo 
February winter steelheading is just around the corner. Huuuuuuuuuah! |

Phil,
They were all "exaggerated beadhead flies" (jigs). Which ones were yours? The black, purple, or purple and pink? 
Someday, I'll show you how I do it. Everything, the equipment, the casting, the mending, the hook set and the fight, says "Fly Fishing". Only the angle of the hook eye is different...oh yeah, and the quantity of fish hooked...oh yeah, and the percentage of fish landed.  |

They're still in steelhead mouths, too. They're just another weapon in my arsenal. Question: Would you rather catch one on the swing or 5 by nymphing?
Question: Would you rather catch none nymphing or 3 on a jig?
When the bobicator plummets and you strike, and you feel the head shake and ensuing run, do you think you'll say to yourself, "Aw, but it's on a jig. I might as well cut my line"???
To each his own, Phil. I certainly don't fault you for choosing to not catch fish.  |

Nuh-uh. I saw their jigs. Not for us. Also, I'm not worried about fly guys using jigs. Either, they don't know how OR they're too busy being nauseated at the thought.

Yes, just like those voices in the heads of Bundy, Dahlmer and the rest of the murderous nut jobs were saying: "They wanna die! They wanna die! You should help 'em out! Help 'em out!".
The only sheeople whom pitching gear and that baitfishing crap you're using would scream "flyfishing" to is denialists who can't cast, mend nor wade worth a damn like yourself. Anyone whom is halfway proficient simply can't hear the voices you seem to be hearing........

Hell why stop there!
Would you rather get skunked on a jig or catch 3 on a sardine wrapped flatfish?
Would you rather get skunked on a flatfish or catch 5 on big globs of roe?
Face it man, you're a bait fisherman in denial........  Not a very good one either..........

Ginger vs. Maryann 15 Years, 6 Months ago

Hey, we're talking Ginger vs. Maryann here. Don't lump Mrs. Howe into the equation.
Differences can be minute or enormous, like when you disrobe in the men's locker room and they point you to the "other" one.
