I was hoping to do that again tomorrow but we have severe weather predicted for the next three days. I hate these storms.

I have not been fishing for about eight months. My wife Dot had a doctor's appointment that I knew would be a long wait. I put my fly rod in the car and we left. The doctor has a pond right next to the parking lot at his office. I have fished there before when Dot has to go in to see him. It was overcast so I rigged up with a Sparkle Olive Dumbbell eye Bugger. Made the first case and just stripped about two strips and Fish On. It was a small Bass. The pond was thick with moss along the bank. so landing the fish was a mess. It came in with a big load of moss on it. I made a few more casts and decided the fly was too heavy with all that moss so I switched over to a sz 14 Chili Pepper. Caught another bass and then another. I broke off trying to land the next bass in the moss. Tied on another Chili Pepper and the same thing. Got a couple of bass and again lost it landing a bass in the moss. I was down to one Chili Pepper. Lo and behold If I did not do the same thing and lost that one. I then tied on an Olive Bugger with a red bead head. The first cast produced a Bass a few casts later another Bass. then I managed to hook a tree behind me and broke off. Now that was four flies lost. I then tied on a Purple Marabou Bugger and on the first cast I had a fish on. A few more casts and short strikes I had another bass landed, again loaded with moss. I hooked up again and the Bass got into the moss after a couple of nice jumps and I broke that one off. Total five flies lost. I fished just over an hour and my wife came out to the car just as I tied on a WRD. I did not get to cast it. I spent a lot of time cleaning moss of my flies but it was a real good day fishing. I did get photos of two of the Bass. All Bass were released unharmed. I landed a total of ten Bass. Arkansas Tony-- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] Fishing today
Not quite on the water but on the bank close enough to the water. The problem was the moss along the bank, it extended as much as three or four feet beyond the bank.

[VFB] Fishing today
I finally got to fish today. My doctor's office has a pond just about 50' from the front door. My wife had an appointment this afternoon. In spite of thunder storm and tornado warnings I took my fly rod along.Got to fish for an hour before I pooped out and went in the office. Caught 7 largemouths all on the Chili Pepper. They were hitting so soft that you could not feel the take. The line would just tightened up a bit and you had to strike. It just felt like you were in the weeds. Have to shut down now, it is getting ugly out there. Arkansas Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

[VFB] Fishing Today
Nope - RAINWIND!!! Wednesday I head to San Francisco VA Medical Center to see the Experts on HEPC and for them to evaluate if I can undergo the therapy that has a 25% chance of success or that my disease has progressed to far and I need to get my affairs in order. Darn, I NEED to go fishing. I will take a couple rods and fish on the way back. I go past Donner Lake, Truckee River, Sacramento River, The BAY; so may have some luck. I will be back Friday evening.

Gang, after all this discussions about worms etc. I decided to head out for some serious nymph fishing. Weather was fine, but water was high and I saw no fish. needless to say that i didn't catch any. But some great hours at the water, and it was good to do some decent casts.
