Wicked wind, bugs on the water and a few, very few risers, so I went deep, Hooked Nijinsky on a #20 midge with 6.5x tippet, it didn't end well.
Tied on another midge and repeated, hooked Nijinsky again, had him on the line a bit longer but couldn't keep him from rubbing the tippet on the rocks and the fucker broke me off!!!! n!n
Caught a few leaping rainbows and then waited for the evening action. Well a pulse came on down and fucked that up, so I decided to head on up the road to catch falling water. But when I got to the car I spied risers in the flats and went after them. Changed a bunch of flies and finally found a couple that they were interested in. Fished until 8:35. I'll be back in the morning to see what I can conjure up..

Since Wednesday was a dark day (no work or show), I spent the night in Johnson City, despite having to drive through Piney Flats, the speed trap of a town that I swore five years ago never to pass through again. Fired up the laptop, remoted in at 7 worked till 8, drank two cups of hotel coffee while twisting up a quad of Puff Daddies. Maybe I should have stayed at a Holiday Inn, cause when I got to the river I could have used some help figuring out those picky bastards... I fished up at a place that I used to go with Troutphisher and Lurker "M", we had some grand times there, but now a new house is being built right up on the bank. You get the feeling that someone is staring at you when you turn your back to it.

I remember when "M" caught a dandy of a brown out of the skinny water up against the bank during a spinner fall a few years back.
I was still rigged up with a dry from last evening and I really didn't want to nymph, so I just watched for noses and sure enough a couple were hitting bugs in the film...

Had a beer at 10:30 and thought about moving to another spot, but then I'd catch another fish and hung out for a while, it was cool and windy and was spitting some rain from time to time.

After a while, all I was catching was pune bows...

Hit the road and traveled on downstream

Fishing was slow but I found risers to target and the last hour was pretty much on.

I hated to leave 'cause I knew it was only going to get better, but I have an early call for Thursday's show and needed to be back.

That poor pink flamingo had dreamed of a respectable life in a trailer park somewhere, and it came to this. Say no to meth kids.
