Crystal, Jazzi, and I made it up to the LR for Thanksgiving after spending a little time in Memphis. Her brother and his fiance were able to join us in the cabin for a wonderful holiday of relaxing, overeating, and of course fishing.
We had the cabin for 5 days, and on the first night, the river flooded 5ft over it's banks. As the week continued, the water dropped out, and we were luckily able to manage a few fishing excursions.
Cabin at Lobo:
My kind of place:
Took Brandon, my brother in law, on a float. For his first time flyfishing, he was able to get the hang of it, and was soon landing some nice fish on his own. For someone raised in the city without the outdoors, he really seemed to enjoy everything.
While everyone else was sleeping in, shopping, and watching football....Jazzi and I found a nice chance to get away and catch plenty of fish. Started off the morning catching dozens of nice rainbows in a deeper stretch on falling water, it was almost ridiculous how good the bite was on. Then, I switched over to fishing shoals, and I found some beautiful browns staging up. All fish were caught deep in the moss, hugging the bottom in deeper holes. I kept the flies about 9 ft under the indicator, and the bites kept coming. Biggest fish fought and lost was about 8lbs.
Jazzi would rush to the bank, and inspect every fish that made it to the net.
Sowbug and Redass tandem....If you keep them deep, that was all I needed for this river.
Started raining hard the last day...making it easier to leave. We loaded up the boats, and headed home.
It was nice to make it back to the LR. It's been a few years, and it will probably be a while before I can make it back..but it seems to be in great shape.
