I went out Sunday morning around 8:30 am,,,, after creeping down the road on the
ice, all the way from home to Good Hope,, I was happy to walk in and see a
fellow fly fisherman landing a nice brown. I fished down just a few holes with
only my trusty black-over-brown (no flash) marabou streamer with no takers. On
my way back to the car, I decided to make a few more casts and had an
interesting duel with a very persistent brown trout!! He hit my streamer 3
times in 7 seven casts and got off all 3 times.... I finally hooked him and
brought him to hand around the 10th cast!! Now, that's what I call fun!!!
Pretty cool when you leave home with just one fly and end the trip with a cool
experience like that!!
Once again, the water was cold and slightly stained,, perfect for the streamer!!
Now, on to battle the crowds at the mall.... grrrr... just keep telling
myself,,, "Stay focused, sizes don't matter (they can always exchange it after
the holiday, plus, getting them petite sizes makes them feel better anyway...)
soon, you will be back in the stream!!!" -Jim D.

I went out about 2:00 pm and got cold in about 45 minutes. Managed 2 fish though on the orange stonefly, and one on a golden retriever - all before the big rock. Fish seem to be active after those flood events. Obviously the must try to hide from the dirty water and the heavy current. When things settled down since friday they needed to eat.
