Today was it for my Wisconsin fly fishing season. I know I’ve said that a few times this fall but today was it. Bob and I lucked into another fly fishable day in November. It wasn’t balmy like Thursday but temps reached 49° without an ounce of wind. That’s not to say it wasn’t chilly to start. There was ice on the edges of the river and small ponds are now frozen.
I have to say it was one of the nicest November days I can recall. We all know how cold, windy and gray November can be. Not to mention how short the days are. But today was spectacular. The only issue however was the fishing stunk. Perhaps the water was too cold? Too nice? Who knows. We landed a mere pike and saw one lazy musky that followed my fly to the boat then turned away.
It has been and incredible WI season. The learning curve for my new waters has been rising fast and this year me, Granny and friends caught a lot of nice fish!
Just in case you think I’m wrong about this being my last day – it truly is. Tomorrow at this time I’ll be flying. Then Tuesday at this time I’ll be flying. And Wednesday at this time I’ll be flying. I’ll arrive in Borneo on Thursday then into the jungle on Friday. I’m expecting my first cast to be Saturday morning and the target, the Red Kaloi. Wish me luck!
In the meantime, please visit my webstore for “Christmas Gifts for the Angler that has Everything” and stuff those stockings with my fish decals from “Pescador on the Fly”.
