It was 32 or so degrees celcius here today, but will be 34 tomorrow and 35 on Friday... It looks like it will be a fantastic summer. Shame we are in such a shoking drought here.

Reuven: Might be a warning. or a curse, as today made trip number FIVE that I got skunked. My wife and I went out and all we caught was a cold LOL...We tried every tip, every trick, and every fly in the box... I found the fish.. In the original creek channel, and I trolled jigs and all sorts of other heavy flies (cause they are holding at about 15ft deep, and since I don't have a sinking line or tip, I even put a piece of split shot where the leader meets the fly line) and NOTHING.. Not even a nibble LOL...Had fun out in the fresh air though.. temp was about 62 and Sunny, with only a light breeze, and warm as long as you were in the sun...Oh, on the raccoon, it's hair is also longer than a hare, Chuck ----- Original Message ----- From: "Reuven Segal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 5:26 PM Subject: RE: [VFB] Now Hares Ear? > Perhaps it was a warning to you(??) > > No need for a photo.
