Don Andersen Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Folks, I can't believe how many of you attended worship on Stauffer Creek. Good Friday there were vehicles everywhere. What happened to the people? Only saw one guy and he and I shared a pool that produced well. Between us we landed 14. Three of them brookies. Saturday it was a repeat of the crowd. Again, there wasn't a lot of folks seen. Three of us shared the same pool above and landed 24. Sunday- I was alone but it didn't help. Fished the "productive" pool and missed one and landed one. And that was it. One fish - a tiddler @ that. The lesson - you can't expect lighting to strike the same place 3 days in a row or somebody was a tad disappointed that I didn't go to church. Licked my wounds on the Clearwater today - 19 to hand. A couple @ 12>14", the bulk @ 17>19" with one male about 24". And with that, I'm going to get serious about some lake rainbows in BC Thursday providing I get the truck repaired. catch ya' Don Quote
don't have a clue Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Great report Don. I will be heading down to fish the Clearwater and the Tay on the weekend. Do you have any tips tips for me. thanks Neil Quote
vince Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Don Sounds like you had a very productive weekend...thanks for the report. Vince Quote
Don Andersen Posted April 6, 2010 Author Posted April 6, 2010 don't have a... A tip for ya'. Fish the "quiet" water. They are not in the faster flows of summer. Don Quote
Junior Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 It was nice running into you on Sunday, Don. I showed up at BFW in the little black car, just before you left. I had my best day ever on Stauffer. I came up shy of a dozen, with one at 11 and a half inches, and the rest between 7 and 9, all browns, all on a #16 PTN. Quote
Don Andersen Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 ironfly, You did much better than I. Did you go to church on Friday or Saturday evening? I tend to think that somebody had it in for me. regards, Don Quote
vince Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Rick Jr. What the hell is a PTN ? and Don, I can tell you for a fact that Rick Jr. is a regular church going kind of guy so I'm thinking the Big Guy upstairs wanted to reward him. Vince Quote
Junior Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Don, I don't think The Big Guy has much to do with it, or I'd never have a good day. I haven't been inside a church in a dog's age. Did you try singing a fish song? Vince, your nymphing expertise is impressive. PTN=Pheasant Tail Nymph. Quote
Don Andersen Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 ironfly, Singing I don't do and the masses thank me for that. Does mumbling count - did a lot of that Sunday. catch ya' Don Quote
vince Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Rick A PTN...must be one of those types of flies that don't float. Check you inbox dude. Vince Quote
