I will buy a new camera tonight so I can talk about the one that made fun of me, yesterday lol. I was on a mission for nothing but big and keeping nothing. Some what reached that goal but since I did not touch or have the Brown in hand, I lost. Things was changed up yesterday and set a rig up differ than normal for me. 6 lb Vanish on spool to barrel swivel. 3 foot leader of 2 lb Vanish to small Stone Flies, May Flies and Caddis Flies. This isnt my normal by far but will say, it brought things alive in creek that seemed not to be present. I't will take a few times to get the hang of it and I missed, lots of fish yesterday. The one that hurt my feelings most though, was a huge Brown. He or She, made a statement also. Was making some headway on it a few times but it decided to make a burst straight to me and show off it's acrobats. Good two feet out of water and spit the Caddis out in my face. I was trying best to do my part and just couldn't get line on reel, faster that the sucker was going up stream. Another learning curve and screw small reels with poor ratio. If I would have been using my medium size Shimano that is about 6:1, I would have had better chance of getting pressure back fast. Even though I got smoked, that was one darn fun 15 second thrill. Have a feeling it is just an old smart brown that has been through that before because they have not stocked any browns in this creek,, yet. All rainbows so far and goes to show,, what may be lurking from tree roots.
When I said it made a statement, feel like it did and had my good glasses on and could see the SOB spit the fly out, when looking like a missile coming from under surface. Don't you love the stuff that makes ya sick to stomach and laugh at same time. Think I did find a camera similar to the one I had, that sizes pics down. My easy way of posting pics and just like doing it that way.
