Today I have completed a quest… and thought that I would share it with you…
Below you’ll find photo’s of two brown trout caught from Oatka Creek in NY this morning… The first one is #99 and the second as well as the close up are of #100 for the season… I started fishing for trout on June 1st right after the turkey season closed… Not that I’m all about the numbers…
I’m just glad to be out there catching trout, but this is a milestone for me…
Hope all is well with you and yours, Doug… I’m lov’in it!
Yep, #100 came on a Black foam beetle with a yellow sight post… I was fishing a midge larva dropper off it… He really slammed into that beetle… He was under a weed bed and I never saw him until he came bolting for the fly, luckly I was ready…
PS. I probably will not keep track again… since this was my first season in retirement I thought I’d keep track this year…I just wanted to get to 100 once… thanks, Doug.
Great pictures and I know you will have many more great fishing stories to tell about. I only have one question and you will have to forgive me for asking, but, my wife always tells me I am too observant, but, I have to know why you have the rubber band around the reel seat on the rod?! :?
but, I have to know why you have the rubber band around the reel seat on the rod?!
If you must know… I’m old school and when I take down my 2 piece H&H 9 foot 3 wgt. rod appart; the rubber band holds the two pieces of rod together at the butt and also holds the end of my fly line from wrapping all the way around the inside reel… the rod sits in my trucks gun rack till I get home… I don’t break my rod/reel down when I’m fishing local areas on a regular basis… now you can sleep… hehehehehe… :lol:
