Smith Saturday

[5xTippett]

I left home Saturday morning for my pilgrimage to the Smith.  I decided to try a new spot Peewee had told me about, and then head to my normal spots.  I called Dean (Flyrod) on the way to Bassett and he gave me instructions to call him after 4:00 and he'd meet me up there.  I fished Peewee's spot for an hour or so and picked up 3 decent fish.  I walked back to the car and there was Dean.  We decided to head upstream a ways before we started fishing.  He decided to fish a run below me and I headed to where I had been whipping them pretty soundly the last few times. I saw some fish moving and I thought it was going to be more of the same.  Unfortunately those little suckers were in a bad mood.  I fished hard for a couple of hours and I earned every one I caught.  I finally moved up to another pool where I haven't been fishing in a while and it was strong for a few minutes.  It finally got too dark to see the fish splash when they hit.  I don't particularly mind not being able to see my beetle, but it does help to be able to see the fish splash.  I called Dean on the way home and he said he caught 14 out of one spot during a sulpher hatch.  I reckon if I fish that pool again I will have to throw something other than a beetle.  I don't know how many times I can convince the same fish to eat a beetle.

Into my ... glass of wine so pardon me, but  I have been fortunate to have had several business trips to Liverpool.  As a Beatles fan in the 60s, it was great to go to the Cavern (where it all began) and have the company pay for it in the 90s.

I have been a Beatle fan since the 60s, and a Beetle fan since I have been chasing big fish.

I think Al is right, looks like Red Man to me That sucker has some teeth, and  he's not hooked in the same place you put the fly in all those last time. :angel: How did he taste?

[5xTippett]

TM, I don't know how he will taste.  You told me to save him for you!
