We took a road trip today to meet up with my brother and do some bug chucking in a Cortland lake. The fish just got off there spawn so the action was a little slow to say the least. We did all end up on fish eventually.
My little bucket....
My brother with his big catch....he was so happy for the hookup he made out with it....but just a little....then it got weird...
Chris still pounding the water as Phil walks away....still feeling the weirdness after the bass to mouth session.....
By the end of the day we were tossing nymphs off a dock hooking little gills. Normally this is not a bad thing, but today it felt like the old days of unsuccessful angling. Fun was had and at the end of the day quality time with family is all that matters. We fished the day with my neices and a Friendly's meal and ice cream....now beat that....
Good friends..some water..some fish , nothing wrong with that picture for sure. Sometimes the most fun days are those when the fishing isn't all that, gives us a chance to not take the whole trip quite as seriously and just have fun!!

ReplyDeleteSometimes these are the days you remember most. Also on slow days is a good time to practice placing that fly in a particular place----all is not lost.
