Fishing Christmas Day. I get my daughter for a week beginning Saturday at noon, and we will head straight to my folks house for Christmas and Christmas dinner. It's become a tradition for me to fish either Christmas Day or New Years Day alternating years.
I got out at the river early, and pods of rainbows were dashing around redds in skinny water, males sparring over the right to spawn. Sight fishing on the swing with a soft hackle attractor and swimming BWO dropper, I managed to entice a couple. <http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/decoy/fish9/aPC250004.jpg> fishing my postwar Heddon 1-3/4f Black Beauty and early 30s Heddon Little Rivers reel <http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/decoy/fish9/aPC250001.jpg> as the morning progressed they settled into the slots and I added a strike indicator and added a few fish on dead drifts <http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/decoy/fish9/aPC250007.jpg> When I took my lunch (dried sausage) and cigar far upriver, there was a great caddis hatch, but I couldn't turn a strike. That's OK - great day. I'll be fishing with my daughter some next week. And bicycling, too. Happy New Year to all.
