old f--ts with flyrods

[Gump]

Well with low water and quickly warming water temps, my trout fishing might be slowing down.  Not that I have done a whole heck of a lot, but I am grateful for every minute on the stream.  Here are a few of my favorites from the Finger Lakes region.  All these fish are wild fish from little known streams that have taken a bit to research and 'test' out.

I was on the creek for a while yesterday's. Managed a couple rock bass. Water was mid summer conditions with substantial weed growth. Gin clear as well.

Had a pod of carp all set to go when 3 young men came paddling through.  End of story.

But... They were having a lot of fun. Better than some things they could have been doing.

Thanks guys.  I try to put a different perspective on my angling pics when I can.  Some of those shots were actually off my phone which is a Galaxy 6.  The others were off my Canon sx530 Powershot.  Some have been edited using Instagram or right on my phone.

In honor of the day here is one I took a couple weeks back at the Bath National Cemetary after I was done fishing the Cohocton....


I am Thankful...

this is not a full report !  where did you go ? what fly? what weight rod? weather conditions? can we go? what time is the fish fry?  we need details RG

[rgfixit]

I could tell you ....but......you know the consequences.

I gave them to a friend at work for his 88 year old mom. She loves fish and he doesn't get time to catch any for her. I don't know his mom, but he's a really nice guy.

Fly was a crossover fly which for some reason escapes my memory......as does the location etc

But, I'm old and memory comes and goes........on an as needed basis
