Finally! I got one.

[Streamdance]

So today was beautiful, the wind was low, the lady was at work, and my car isn't running. Being stuck inside with nothing but Call of Duty all day was not appealing in the slightest. Dinner at her mother's was also not helping my unease. Around 5 the lady returns, says dinner is at 6:30. Finally after enough complaining about how the day was wasted, I remember Dunnfield Creek, about 10 minutes from my apartment. I've wanted to Fly Fish the stunning little brookies in that creek since I was little, and only started Fly Fishing in November of last year, so I went there twice. Each time I've had a smack, and a miss, so with trout seasons opening, I put those little riffles behind me. Today was the perfect chance to try again, so we hopped in the car and headed on over there. Alas, the glimmer of an 18 Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear, brought me a hit: Fish on! Nope, he's off, another let down. I figured, I'd give it a few minutes, and try again. Bang! Fish on, and he really was on, I wasn't losing this one. With a fight that could've passed for a 16 inch fish, turned out to be the most beautiful little 9 inch Brown I've ever laid my eyes on. Not the brookie I have been waiting for, but just as splendid. After a nice release, he darted back to his cave. We were there a total of 20 minutes, and I got what I had wanted, so I called it early, tipped off another Fly Angler to my success a few yards up, and off to dinner we went! My day became perfect. I've broken quite a few personal records this month, and that was the best of them.

Here's a picture that the lady took, she's never done any fish photgraphy before, so she focused on me, and not the fish, I mean, could you blame her? :looser:

Thanks for sharing. You'll always look back on yesterday as the day that confirm you are addicted. Enjoy the addiction.

 

[Rusty Spinner]

Now you're addicted. Try a small tan elk hair caddis dry fly next time out. You'll easily be able to see them take the fly and you're more likely to increase your hook ups. Next time it's a native, wild brookie!!!

 

[Streamdance]

Thanks guys! I definitely am hooked Small stream fishing is definitely my favorite time. And Rusty, Thanks for the tip! I don't know why I didn't go right to the Caddis, there was an abundance of them on the surface yesterday, but yet, there was no surface activity this time out, so I went with the Prince Nymph, and lost it. I'm glad I lost it though or I never would have thrown on the Hares Ear.

The photo... don't worry about it at all.

Actually it looks like a Cabarle photo if you ask me.

Not AK, lol, I thought he meant DCabarle was the Beetle. I don't know much at all about this Beetle of Gold, but I laugh every time I hear the name.

the guy was a drunk and an idiot who clogged this forum with the most useless bull shit. here's and example.

"today I ate pizza and then i kind of went fishing..." ect

he used it like hes own personal blog and never shut the hell up.

good fish, pretty stream, i take my gf fishing all the time and she takes pictures with her iphone but they end up on facebook. i at one time posted pictures to this site but then it changed its format and i lost all of my photos and dont remember any information about my photobucket account. So i decided to give up.

seriously though dont mention that idiot. God forbid he comes back. you do not want to put up with that.

 

[Streamdance]

Yeah yeah, casting shoes. Sorry I didn't feel like throwing on the Orvis' 3 plys, to tread the 8 inch riffles for 20 minutes of fishing. As for the COD reference, that was intended to be a pathetic joke, clearly. I hope to develop the Elitist Dickhead personality soon. Where do I start?

 

[Catskill Mountain Man]

Fish after a long and particularly difficult days work and have the fishing go wrong at every turn; ie, fall multiple times bruising your shins or getting wet, get constant tangles in trees, and catch none or lose a big one. That type of stress will put a bad taste in your mouth and give you that "ive been through alot" attitude.

You first start by removing WBdluver's new net handle out of your circular star and realize this is NEFF, land of ball busting where no reports or advice is given. Welcome to the show!
