Title: Smith Saturday - Cool weather a some BWO's
Post by: gamatt53 on September 17, 2011, 20:55:12 PM
Spent the afternoon and evening around bassett. High 50's and cloudy damn it felt good to not sweat my ass off in the waders. I didn't think they would start this early but conditions must have been right because there was a light BWO hatch most of the afternoon. Some sulphurs showed up late as well so they were looking up and hungry most of the day.

Nice work! Good pics, too. I was fishing below Town Creek Sat. AM. Water was fairly stained and high. BWO's were randomly coming off. I did well, too.

Thanks for the report.

Headed up there Saturday morning.

With my luck it will be 90 degrees and blindingly bright!

Well done!  Was that you I saw leaving at the Bassett Canoe launch this week?  I was in the full size gray Dodge van. I said hello to someone with NC plates.

This TR was from the weekend before last but I don't recall seeing anyone else that day. I drive a Blue Accord with NC tags and a UGA sticker so say hello if you see it around.
