Basically its a very simple fishing report....
flow low around 250 plus or minus a few cfs very clear, only issue with the water was the algae which knotted my line several times, not realizing it was snotted with algae while casting....water temp about 40* plus or minus a few degree's....
skies overcast and perfect with very little wind and no rain while I was on the water.
Lots of Caddis coming off, spinners on the water, Blue Quill and Hendrickson, a March Brown here and there and BWO I think...
And what do I do with these excellent conditions :toilet-humor: shit the bed....
I had a few misses Sunday evening fishing the film with a March Brown, but all in all I felt like I fished like CRAP....spooking fish after slowly stalking a working fish and getting in place to set up that one good cast and then putting the fish down. Even when I had a good drift I must of had the wrong size or wrong fly on, or when I had the right fly on I would line 'em.
As usual the WBA was very comfortable with excellent service, Rocky the Beagle had a great time, though I worried about him while we were fishing the gamelands with all the Turkey hunters around.
Still working out the kinks after a couple year hiatus from fishing....
there is always the next trip to look forward too, besides if I caught to many I would just get bored and quit.
This is my first year and second trip to the WBranch and this year I have decided to explore and learn this river, I may need to head back down to the BeaverKill for some confidence.....just kidding I do love the BeaverKill too
