Just real quick report because I just need to share this one:

 

I was doing the good son duty yesterday and bringing my Mom to a couple of Drs appointments, we finished up later than planned so I really did not feel like heading back to work.

I stopped by a spot on the Souhegan that Mark and I had had a bit of luck on earlier, I just wanted to see if the fish were holding over there now that the water is warming.  I spotted a few small rises so I tied on ths same dry that was working before.   I got a few takes but they were just barely sipping the fly and the whole pool was in full sun so they just were not that active.  

I put one more cast into the tail of a deep pool and just as I started to strip it back; BAM!   I was using my 3wt with a 6x tippet so I played it out carefully and was rewarded with a nice 20"+ rainbow.   This was obviously one of the big fish Mark and I saw jumping that day that we just could not get to due to the high water.  My guess is that the deep pool is a holdover spot and because of it's location (steep bank with no access and no easy water access) the fish do not see much preasure there.   I may head back with the float tube to see what else lurks along that inaccessable streach.

No picture of that monster??  Sounds like you had fun.  Skating the fly is a great way to get fish to strike.  I have used it on the Rapid and the Salmon go crazy when you do it.

See Yah
Thanks

Don't get me going Lee, I'm kicking myself for not having a camera with me.  It was an unplanned trip and my camera was at homeSad

 

I may go back again this weekend with the camera and see if I can catch that big boy again.Fishing

I hate it when I leave my camera home. Well good luck this weekend . Hope to see lot's of photos.



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.
