80’s, blue skies, seasonal flows
Wow, it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted a report.
Late August, a beautiful, but windy day. I decided to visit the concrete factory and fish a beetle under the overhanging brush. Seeing no rises as I walked the first section of the beat, I dropped a small bead head nymph behind the beetle and lay a cast under a deep pocket along the far bank. The beetle went down almost immediately. I set the hook and was fastened to a good fish. The 15" brownie was in full spawn regalia and fought hard before succumbing to the net. I failed to catch another fish the rest of the afternoon!
