Got some fishies

[jimsnarocks]

Finally got back to the water today. It was a beautiful, calm and sunny 48 degrees when I got to the pond. Tied on a soft hackle and started nailing them. I guess I either need to add more head cement or throw a few more loops on my whip finish. After 5 hookups my fly came undone. I tried several other patterns and caught about 6 more but not to the consistancy of that first bug. I'm tying a bunch more of them for next weekends trip to the upper Owens. I didn't get photos of everything. I dropped my camera in the water while wrestling with the biggest one I caught. What a day to leave my gloves at home. Just some for you to get an idea of how it was. The one photo in the middle was my friend Robert and a nice fish taken on a midge. Jim
