Usually I fish in January but this January I wasn't really feeling it. Cold and dark and gross outside. Well yesterday we had sunshine and 40 degrees and I thought I better get some fishing in before my work week.
This morning was 18 degrees but beautiful:I did my usual slow drifts through the runs:Saw a rise and missed a fish. Recasted and a nice 15 inch chunk that fought good:Fished a little further down and caught a nice 20 incher with a old rusted hook and swivel off it (which I removed): I've caught a lot of fish with old hooks and swivels here. I dont get it. 12 pound flouro works great
The sunshine was worth it!My typical fly this time of year:
Cheers!
