December fishing

Pulled into the parking lot and got the rig together. Walked over to the stream and it wasn't too crowded.  I even got my favorite run.  Made a few casts and got nothing.  After a while guys were just showing up and fishing right next to me.  I hate that crap so I reeled in and headed back to the truck. 

While almost at the parking lot. I saw Mike pull in. Told him its too crowded and we headed up stream. 

The rises were few and far between so I stuck with nymphs and eggs. Tried about half a dozen holes and finally got one on an egg.  When pulling him out of the net I realized he only had one eye. 

Tried a couple more holes and decided to head out. Not a very productive day. But it was nice to be out. 

Flies

Havent posted in a while. So here is some play time from the vise. 

Royal Wulf

Sudeo adams pattern

Leech pattern. Going to try for steelhead with this one. 

Want to try and get out this weekend. 

Getting ready.

Started to refill the steelhead box. Starting with the fly that got me one last year. 

Sunday Morning

Mike set up some fishing trough Instagram. So last night I tied up some BWO emergers and Al's Rats.  

I got there early and hit the stream.  Didn't see a single bug come off and sporatic rises. First cast and got a trout to follow the fly but not take it.  Tried a couple different holes and missed three. By that time Mike called and said he would be there in a half hour so I head back to the truck and put on a new leader. 

Mike showed up and two other guys also.  Pafishing and signatureflyco from Instagram.  We all headed back to the stream. Ended up getting a little brown. 

Got it one the BWO tied last night. 

A little bit later Mike hooked up and landed one. 

I ended up watching people fish more then doing it myself. Mike got a couple more and I had to heading out.
