Merry Christmas 2010................

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season.

It has been an odd few weeks with the early winter blast putting the crimp on my stream walking but there are a few other options out there.

I'm hoping for an active Spring on the water as there were a lot of fish that stayed in the lake due to the low water Fall season.

Thanks for stopping in and I value our time on the water for those I fish with. In addition I would like to thank those of you who have authored their own blogs. Your piscatorial accounts both keep my passion for fishing fueled and keep me thoroughly entertained on the cold fishless days of winter.

Until later..............

More fishing than catching........

I made it out at first light in hopes of putting one more on the bank before the hard freeze comes in this evening.

The weather was wet and drizzly and a foggy mist hung in the air.

Now that's my kind of day. The snow melt added a touch more green to the water from the day previous.

I put my best effort out today in the middle stretches. The lower end was still locked up with ice.

I concentrated on holding pools and gentle flowing runs where fish may sluggishly rest without exerting a lot of energy.

I pretty much threw everything
at the fish today roe,beads, plastic worms etc..

I briefly had a fat sliver female on slowly shaking her head in the current barely attached to a size 12 hook.

As I tried to move her to shore the hook let loose and off she went.

That was it for action today but I had an excellent if not slightly soggy hike today that was worth the effort.


I wouldn't rather be anywhere else today.

Until later.......................

An Afternoon Walk...........

I got out for a few hours on an afternoon walk. The water was low and clear with a light green in a few spot.

Today's weather was godsend after the crap that was sent our way last week.

The mild temps revitalized me just enough before the shit hits the fan again tomorrow.

until later.............

Some= A Few.......

I found some greenish water this morning on my morning walk. The water had a little murk to it and it seems we have gone from early November into January conditions. All the fish I caught today were smaller males and the were sluggish in their fight.

Until later.................
