Sounds great, something I need. The lake is just about dry, the drought is killing us. Our well level has dropped enough that we may have to drill a new one 40' deeper and no one is catching fish because it is to hot, 111* here now with a nightly low of about 70. I thinks I need to find a way to get to the mountains, at least it is in the low 80's up there at 8000'. Jimmy's cattle are probably basting on the hoof. Jimi
Went to The Patuxent River here in MD. About 5 mins into the trip i hooked a
sucker on an olive & black bugger. I thought it was some mad crazy rainbow
but not so. I didn't despair though cuz it gave me a hell of a thrill! I
missed a hook-up under an overhang and another in an undercut. I resharpened
the bugger but the action was off due to the sun and heat. So i went
exploring. Its amazing what u find if u just hunt around a bit. Upon
overturning a rock in the stream, there were these little 1/2 inch trout
still in their yolk sacks stuck to the rock with some sticky substance. That
was quite amazing. Then, as i looked behind my waders, there were these
little 3 inch parr hanging out. About an hour later, a doe came down for a
long drink at the stream. She was about 50 ft from me and a sight to behold!
Later, though they weren't biting, there were 3 large trout (18+ inches) at
the bottom of a clear channell in the middle of a large slow pool. Got my
blood pumping :-) About an hour before leaving, i discovered a really nice
spot on the stream...It is this small dry gravel bed which drops down into a
little undercut bank which promises to be full of trout. I'll be returning
there again on Saturday.
No high compares to a fish at the end of the line. SJHassan, from MD.
