FRC May 14, 2010

Rob and I met at the FRC for an afternoon of fishing before his scouts showed up for an overnight campout. Most of the action was from about 2 pm to 3:30 pm, when I landed 4 'bows, two about 20" and the other two newbies (about 12" to 14"). I didn't keep a tally on Rob. Mine all came on a conehead olive bugger/sculpin type fly and a green damsel nymph, fished on a floating line. Then things went cold. After an hour break, I spent another 2 1/2 hours kicking around, floating line, sinking line, different flies, waiting for an evening bite that never materialized. I landed one more small guy and a few mini-bluegill. I probably had at least another dozen or more hit the fly without getting the hook into them. Thanks for the trip, Rob!

Any Takers?

Since I've only been on the river once this year, I decided to share this little gem. Have any of you Merrill boys seen this before?
