Afternoon Delight



Date: March 10th, 2007
Location: Bridge & Club
Air temp: mid 40s
Water temp: ??
Hatches: a few little black flying things
Fish landed: 7 or 8 (brown)


Present members of the Fly Anglers Guild :|: Upper Midwest Chapter, for this outing were:

Xan
Quickdraw
Tim

More sun, less snow, (King Of) beer(s) (great call by Tim), and gin clear water greeted us at the Bridge. It was another slow day, but I was able to pull out a nice 14"er.
Tim landed the first Brookie of the season. Quickdraw once again had good results with the Bugger.



Another great call by Tim was to wedge our (fly) rods underneath the windshield wipers of the Saturn as we drove to the Club, after exhausting the Bridge spots. Even at speeds of 50mph, the (fly) rods didn't budge.

After landing some tiny trout and flipping some others with a streamer, we headed for the EPB&G to cap off the expedition with some curds.

We received a cellular
communiqué from the knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers (KDMB) that they landed a bevy of trout in a separate trip elsewhere on the stream. Sadly, their ilk, with their "power" worms and ape-like shuffle, may never realize that while they "caught" a lot of trout, none of them counted.

i believe the tiny black things were some sort of tiny black stone fly: a capina, allocapina, or nemoura species most likely, for all you entomologists.
