My day started at 7:30 in the dentist chair having my teeth cleaned. Out by 8:00, I decided I would spend the rest of the day trying to make up for a slow fishing day last Friday. I got onto the river at 10:00 and had my first fish by 10:15, a small rainbow. Within the next 20 minutes I had caught a small brookie. I thought to myself, uh oh, what a day. Well, by 1:00, I had caught a grand total of 3 fish. Not very good. It was now a good time to have my vienna's and beanie weenie's for a well deserved lunch. I started back at about 1:30 with a new fly and a new approach. The fly was a #18 white fluorescent that I had tied up a couple of weeks ago. That was the ticket. The fly lured the browns out of the shallow grass and the bows out of the grass in the deeper water. By the time I had left the water at 4:00 I had caught 11 more trout after my lunch break for a total of 14 for the day. Not bad, a whole lot better than the dentist visit. Until next time, Pappy
