Title: Better than a sharp stick in the eye
Post by: gaspergou on August 29, 2013, 09:42:33 AM

Here's the Wednesday afternoon report. Lots of small, fresh-stocked bows. Lots and lots. A few that seemed like they'd been around a bit longer, including a couple of brookies. One pretty respectable bow on a hopper. A good sunburn (what the hell is this yellow thing in the sky that I haven't seen in months?!).

Oh, and while I was working upstream through a run, two guys in a canoe paddled upstream past me, and then anchored up a very short distance upstream and started fishing. Like, as in a short enough distance that I was tempted to switch to a larger fly and drop it in their boat. Almost felt like I was on the Caney!

Sounds about 100 times better than having to work!

Sounds like a good except for the douches.

Nothing like the Caney, there would have been 10 or more boat's in your way.

The stockers never made it to the the Van Zandt bend area... hasn't been any stocking in that area in a while.  We fished for about 3 hours and got 3-4 browns about 10 inches each... really kind of pretty day Sunday AM.
