Speak for yourself Caddis, we got a ton, 12 to 15 inches and now I have to shovel the roof again.

Folks I am back from a short trip. Mr Caddis I brought the camera but didnt take a single shot. Ok his is my breif report. The temps were fine might of fact quite nice in the lower 50's not really sure. Felt warm though. Wind was not a factor at first . When I got there the winds were about 5-10 miles an hour quite calm for up in the hills.The sky partly cloudy . As I drove down the dirt road to the parking area there was only one truck in front of me not another soul. He went left at the fork and I right. I was glad of that I like the second stretch better anyway. As I drove closier to my destination I did notice the stream was quite a bit down from normal. Then I remembered the work on the lake they are doing down stream . Dang it my reply. As I drove to the parking area looking up I saw three Bald Eagles flying above the stream. Pretty cool I thought to myself.
I parked the truck unloaded the dog.and rigged up. I felt the warm sun on my face and gave out a smile because it felt so dang good. I walked the path which still had patches of ice so I had to be careful of my footing. As I came to the water I then relized how low the water really was. I was kind of shocked to tell the truth. Now I know why the Eagles were flying above the stream . Lets say they must have had easy pickings.
Well I made a few cast and it wasnt long before I had landed a brown trout that if I would have posted a picture of the folks up north of the border would never have let me down. I continued down stream and managed to hook and land several more fish about the same size. My question was where did all the bigger fish go. The fact is I only got a glimpse of one Brown Trout over 16 inches. I was a little disapointed. Worried on the other hand. Them Eagles werent so cool anymore.I fished about another 1/2 hour and the wind began to come up .I figure about 20 miles an hour or more. So I worked my way back to the truck I managed another Brown about the same size as all the rest. I am still wondering what happened to the biggger fish. Maybe they are hold up somewhere furtur down stream in a deeper hole. At least I hope that is where they are. Maybe when the water levels come back up they will show up. Although I didnt hook a monster It sure beats staying home ans it is a heck of allot better then looking at 15 inches of snow and ice. Thats my report Dave V
Nice Dave, very nice.

Any day away from work is a good day but a fishing day away from work is even better. Everybody should have more of those kind of day's Dave V
It just ain't right.....Nobody should be enjoying warm weather
and fly fishing While all I can do is look out the window at a
driveway full of snow.
Hey guy's I just opened the door and it feels like mid 50's no wind . I think Its time for me to head out and make a few early spring cast. I will let you know how it works out. My sholder is already sore so I don't think I will be out long. Reports later in the day. Dave V
PS I hope all you folks have a great day.
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was
cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words,
and some of the words are theirs.
