Title: Stealing into the night
Post by: Transylwader on January 22, 2012, 17:57:25 PM
After the grandparents boogered off yesterday at 2PM, I collected my fishing belongings and made tracks down I-40.

After four disastrous trout hunting days on the water this year, I felt chipper about this trip.

The weatherman will no longer be used. The forecast was wrong, all damn wrong.

I looked out the car window to find the stream I wanted to fish, high and muddy b'; So I bailed way upstream on the main feeder and found what I was searching for. Clean waters.

At this altitude, I would have expected to tussle with some brookies, instead, my first fish of the year was an 8" cockroach
The creek was a mere two feet wide and I was a pig in shit.

Petey's flies are the shiznit. I tore these bastards up.
I decided to go lower down as the creek was virtually non existent by the time I reached 2900ft

It's gonna take a while for me to come down from cloud 9 after an ambush of epic proportions. Heck, I got video footage too, and will spend the eve working on that.

Nice work, Mike.  I was fishing a wild stream today and hooked into an 18"+ brown trout.  After about a 2 minute battle, I got it in the net and unhooked the fly.  I tried to lift the fish in one hand and snap a photo with the other hand.  Unfortunately, it was a two-hander and flopped into the water as I was trying to lift it.  Anyway, it moved only 10' away and sat in a shallow riffle and rested.  I thought, "what the hell" and tossed my fly at it, and the focker hammered my fly first try!  Ha ha ha!  The fish were definitely hungry this weekend.

Look I'm not into fishing superstitions, but you must have slipped that 8" cockroach the tongue before letting him go.  Looks like you had a great outing.
