What a day! Sunny, warm-ish and the
reason for fishing--- DFA (dry fly action).
Got to the lake by 10 and got a few on
brown leeches but that wasn't what
we wanted.
I'm tired of dragging buggers
and leeches.
About 11:30 this caddis
hatch starts...they are in my nose, ears,
under my glasses and a few fish are coming
up. Well these bugs are size 20 to 24 and there
is no way in Gorst am I going to match this hatch.
So I cast out what should be hatching as the water warms,
A size 10 adams. First cast whamo, then the mayflies start to
show and the feeding frenzy is on. Over a dozen fish to hand, with a
toad (18+) throwing the hook on its second jump. When John said
that fish is photo worthy I new it was gone.
One of the fish I hooked came shooting straight at me
and jumped over my right shoulder. I ducked as it went by.
