Well Ladies and Conservatives,
This morning I awoke, fresh as a daisy due to the fact my finals were over and I was in need of some Salmoninae...Seeing as I have been fishing the local rivers pretty regularly before/during/after classes, I decided to quench the thirst of the HEMI and head WEST...ROUTE 2 it was!!!
I checked the Waterworks websites and zoar gap releases and I was safe from a whitewater release and river was pissing at 125cfs until 8am....So I figured I had until 1030-11ish to fish my favorite spots before it got over my head at 800cfs scheduled release at 830am...
I traveled up river road and park at the cemetary and suited up. I hit the Johhny on the Spot and I was on my way!
Carefully manuevered down a rock face and immediately employed my tandem rig accompanied by a thing-a-ma-bobber... 3rd roll cast, BANG!!!!!! 10' Loomis GLX snapped right at a guide foot...My bet goes to a burr from the factory...
PISSED, I got out and headed back for the back up, this one only being 9'...
I like that extra length for the deerfield. Makes life so much easier. I guess my life was not going to be easy today...
Well, I only brought 3 nice fish to hand, the rest either snapped me off or I lost at my feet. It just was not my day...
The bugs were horrendous(skeeters/gnats)...Only saw a few caddis and march browns...Hott too... I can't tell you how many times I lost my tandem rig on the bottom or in a tree....
THEN!
I come back to my truck to find my bumper kissing the rear tail light...WHAT THE _______! Some JERK OFF backed into me/ran into me and did not have a respect to leave contact information...Im still fuming from this situation...So, now its off to MOPAR tomorrow to price out bumpers...SWEET! Should be a heft chunk of change for something only worth about $53.45.... My last one was 525.00 after some clown ran into my bumper on a sled...UGHH!!!
I thought it was going to be a good day when I got up, but when the lady at Dunkins gave me coconut instead of black, I knew I should have turned around right there...Oh well, we all have them a couple times a year! Just gotta get through them and on to the next accident-less day of fishing!!! Enjoy the pics...
Time to make some kielbasa with kraut and perogies...And a spicey BLOODY MARY
FIFE!
I think this was a fishercat...Look closely, center of pic, on the rock...a bit smaller than beaver, and most certainly larger than a mink...Traversed that hill like a son-of-a-bitch..
And a hen came to say goodbye and flick me off as I packed up for the day...
