A little sore from yesterdays adventure...I went out again this morning with a buddy of mine and his pop....Mu buddy Luke caught 12 bass, his dad rocked out 18 and I caught 11 bass and 1 monster walleye....Not too shabby for 4 hours of slamming dirty ass brown water.....I was off to a pretty slow start...Chuck was pounding them in to begin...10 fish out of the first pool we hit....I changed tactics...They were throwing crank baits...Hitting fish at about 5 feet...I switched to a sink tip, switched colors of flies and bing bang boom...On fish....I have fly fishing friends that laugh at the stuff I bring with me into my kayak....You never know what you are going to need....I am not one of those 1 fly box guys....I have 3 Plano boxes customized to fit flies, full....stuffed into a book bag with everything else I can fit into it....Sometimes being over prepared is the day saver....Get bronzed....

Big trip out today...A buddy of mine tells me of a spot that is the prettiest section of creek in his opinion...You can float the entire stretch with minimal walking....I say great...My step dad and I make the first car drop off....Drive on to the starting point...As we drive we were both kind of thinking that it seemed like an awful long drive to begin....Moving forward...We go on as planned....11 hours later reaching our destination...My friend said it takes him 2 1/2 hours to float it...haha....We walked over half the trip lugging our gear and boats of some of the most slippery rocks I have ever walked on...Lots of laughs were had...We both fell in the water....He landed 7 fish...I landed 17...A good but thoroughly exhausting day was had..Wait until I see my buddy...No walking.....Bastard.....Somewhere around 7 miles was covered on this float...Water I will most likely never revisit....Off to another spot tomorrow bright and early....

Fishing sucked today...The vibe was off....I was having no fun for the first time ever...Not sure what was up....So I came home and finished these for my friend Dave Lindsay instead.....

Went to a little swampy ass mud puddle today because I knew there were giant carp slopping around in there....Hooked up on two....The first one ran me across the pond and into the weeds scaring every possible fish in the water....He threw the hook in the cat tails...The second was almost landed, within netting distance....Then spit it out at me...Ahhh...The joys of barbless fishing....It was nice to feel that power again though.....They took olive colored Clouser swimming nymphs....Bounced real slow through the mud plume.....
