I went out to the local lake today, trying to make the best of my last day before winter break is over and I have to go back to school.
Today was the only day out of this storm that I really was able to fish with out getting rained on. I took the 3wt and 6wt with me, sinking line on the 6 and floating on the 3. I started working my way around the small lake, without any action. I changed flies, mixed up my presentation, and still nothing. Not even a nibble. I wasn't even seeing any trout rising.
After a little while I started seeing some fsh rising right near me, only about 10-15' off the bank. I casted to them with different flies, presentations, etc. And nothing would trick one. Here I was trying to outsmart a fish with a brain the size of a pea and getting defeated. Well, sometimes you just have to accept defeat and let the fish win...I got skunked.
