saturday was a good day to be out

[Rhody]

Couldn't stand it anymore and had to get out. Sat. looked like the best weather day for a while, but thanks to the TVA folks, Soho was out, and after a couple of late discussions Friday night, met up in Elizabethton with WRector on Saturday am to float the Watauga and let her redeem herself.

WRector showed up with hippie beers in hand and we were on the water. First couple of rips had a fish and ldr or 3,but it was showing some promise. Then WRector showed me how it was done.

This is what the fish saw most of the day from Will.

We got just what I was hoping for about 1pm-Blue Wings-We stayed in one spot for the next several hours throwing dries to rising fish in Dec., pretty damn good time for several hours. Had a good spell of fishing dries and we poked down the river watching the sun and the fishing slow down, but a couple of Ellie's Brown Ales and Oatmeal Porters made up for the slow down on the bottom part of the river.

I think the Wataug is coming back around to fishing decent, now if the weather would just improve a little. Woolly sorry you didn't make it, I had some single malt with your name on it.

Definitely a good time with great company!  Hard to be beat dry flies in the winter time and good beer.
