I had a lot of work to catch up on over the weekend and by around 8 PM last night I was 99% done. This morning I woke up incredibly early – 4:22 AM early to be exact – and I got up and enjoyed the birds while inventing things to do. I worked on my species list on my website. I edited some photos and organized my fishing gear. While in my trout tackle I got an urge to go trout fish for a couple hours.
What truly triggered the trout fishing longing was that it was cool today and raining. In fact when I made the decision to go it was 58° and drizzling. Things couldn’t be more perfect and 30 minutes later I was on one of my neighborhood waters ten miles from town. Of course skies began to clear up!
I wont dwell because Granny and I are organizing a fishing plan for tomorrow but I caught four small browns and a chub. All the fish were on a size 12 Parachute Adams. Good stuff!
One funny thing happened I’ll share. I was sneaking a cast up around this grass. As you can see it looks great for a brown trout. I ended up hooking the grass. I didn’t want to spook the pool so I broke my fly off. When the tippet broke my fly fell in the water and in less than a second about a 15” brown came up and ate it. I got a new Parachute on as quick as possible and first cast he ate it and I missed him. Some tricky trout are not meant to be!
The “rod in hand” picture is awesome! A Currier Original!
Got to take some odd ones when by yourself!
