Free Friday

Taking advantage of a beautiful day and my last Friday off for a while due to a work schedule change, I made a quick morning trip to a local stream. Started at a different stretch of water I haven't fished for quite a while. Fewer fish found than normal, and no love for the psycho, but that could be due to the large number of October caddis shucks covering the streamside rocks - they might have just been full. Put on a stimulator and began to find a few.

Had a couple on nicer than normal, maybe 15", which is big for this stream. Later, found my way to a familiar stretch of water and the normal psycho love. 

I add this photo for my nephew-in-law, Brad, to show him that even the best of us occasionally catch fish by the fin. Of course, we also catch a lot in the mouth, which he will eventually learn to do if he keeps at it!

Ended up with a few dozen for the morning. It is nice having a place like this nearby.
