I just realized I jumped on here without an introduction…and the train kept a-rollin’. Please excuse my manners (or lack thereof).
Name’s Quinn from Los Angeles area- a transplant from Rolling Rock town PA. Small rivers in So Cal and bigger rivers in No. CA are my haunts. Just got back into FF 3 years ago from a 25 year hiatus since leaving PA. Addiction includes refinishing tea-sticks. Love this site!!!
In my opinion Wednesday and Thursday are the best casting days . Monday and even Tuesday are too soon after the hoards of weekenders have put the fish down and off their feed . By Wednesday the fish have calmed down a little . You have the lake or stream almost to yourself . Friday gets an increase in anglers as fellows cheating a day start showing up . Saturday and Sunday are hopeless elbow to elbow free for alls . Yep I can see why you are a Wednesday caster .
With the help of the Regulars on FAOL I’m sure we should soon be able to call you Sevenday Caster because one day is just not enough .
Gnubee,
No coincidences there (my handle "WC’). I was fishing on a Friday and met up with a gent (86 years young) who was not able to make it on his normal Wed. outing and had to come up on a Friday. He explained fishing on a Wednesday was “best” pretty much because of the same reasons you just wrote. We fish together every couple of Wednesdays now. You are a wise man. It sure is tough to write off 1/2 day in the middle of the week. Thank God that I am blessed with owning my own business.
PS If you think asking for a day off from your boss, try asking your business partner/book keeper (my wife). Whew!!!
