I snuck out for lunch today and did a few firsts. I did what I would call my first real ?moving water? fly fishing. I had to do a little mending and such (not as important because I wasn?t dead drifting anything). I also used a wolly bugger for the first time. Wow. In about 45 minutes, I caught 5 bass from 6-10 inches, and two more politely unhooked themselves with some jumps. I went to the big box last night and got a few buggers and a couple of leeches. Wow, wow, wow. I have always read very good things about them, but being the dumb butt that I am, it has taken me this long to get some. My bad!
Plus, I didn?t fall in the river, and I didn?t even lose a new fly in the trees, shrubs, or rocks. All I all, a very good lunch hour!
Austin: 70 degrees, light breeze, a few clouds... I knew there was a reason I lived here!
