Title: 100% skunkage
Post by: robs_seven on February 07, 2012, 20:39:17 PM
Had planned on leaving the house at 7 am, I get off work at 3am and figured
I would be fishing by 9.  Well plans got jacked, didn't get up till 8am and ran out the door. 30mins in I realize I left my waders at home, they were hanging up with sealant drying on a iffy area in one heal.  So I turn around go home grabbed them and bust ass back north.  I had planned on hiking atleast 2 miles in but with my late arrival I decided to start fishing right away and see what I could do.  Well I got skunked again, I have never had much luck in this area but figured a morning fishing was better then sleeping.  I ended up fishing about 2 miles upstream. Not all was fishing some was hiking trying to find what there was to offer.  I ended up stopping about where I had planned on started.  Next I will hike in and start where I left off.

Weather was nice, water was super clear and there were a decent few hatches gong on here and there.
I did take a few pics of the area, but sorry no fish porn

Damn, shes looking good. Now if I could just finish up on-call. I'll hit you up within the next two weeks. Take it from the top, the hike from the bottom is at least 3 miles one way, pain in the arse.

I will be hitting if back up soon. It was nice being up there with out the locals and traffic.  The hike was not too bad. I will give it a shot again definitely.

Nothing like leaving something crucial to the trip behind.  In my case, I either forget a reel or I get stuck in an OCD ritual of making sure I didn't forget one!   b';

I did two trips in a row earlier this year. First, forgotten pack with flies, tippet, rest of the BS. Second, (other people do that, right?) slammed the hatch on the rod....no backup. F' me. I was pressing too hard. Slow down, compadre.

Yeah I don't get out much so this morning with little sleep and rushing I left them hanging.  I had packed everything else the day before. Had 2 rods, 2 reels, and shit ton of flies but the waders slipped my foggy mind.   





Mike get off that on call shit bro lets fish
