Title: bow huntin'
Post by: benben reincarnated on August 27, 2011, 20:58:21 PM

I had some time to kill today, 2.5 hours to be exact, so coming off a new-to-me stream brookie scouting trip last Wednesday, where I had a big skunk, I was itching to get it off my back so decided to fish a little.  Took a quick drive up the road and was feet wet in 30 minutes.  Last time I fished this stream was back in May and the low rainfall over the summer was showing.  Fish were held up in the few small pools, but when I didn't spook the fish I did alright.  Why this stream isn't a brookie stream is baffling to me, but I'll take wild bows over nothing.  More scenery than fish pics were snapped this time, making up for some of my other trips.

Definitley need the numbers game on this one. It sucks when you're the only one confronted with  a shot gun and a bit of pee is trickling down the leg :o It's an experience best shared, so you can live to laugh about it and make fun of the pee'er!
