Another week........another Pyramid fishing adventure !!!!
Well, I didn't over-sleep this morning. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
The alarm went off at 4:45, downed LOTS of coffee, and was on the road at 6:15.
My auto-pilot guided me to "that southern beach I like to frequent". :D:D
First thing upon arrival, I watched a fellow land an easy 10lb plus fish. :cool::cool:
I suited up and was on the water at 7:45 joining the other 5 fishermen on the beach.
It was a beautiful sunny day at the lake too.
There was a light south wind in the morning switching to a moderate northerly wind around 11:00.
There was a smattering of cars at Sandhole and Indian Head in the morning and they all disappeared by 1:00.
The morning chatter on the beach was "shoulda' been here yesterday, the fishing was really good".
Yeah, yeah, yeah.................blah, blah, blah...........................been there, heard it before...........:mad::mad:
So, started off 'catoring for a little while, with ZERO results, then switched to the stripping rig.
Well, today was the day of the beetle.
I fished the white over chartreuse version as a dropper with a tui-chub clouser point fly today and went 4 for 8 on that set-up.
I had one strike in the late afternoon on the 'cator with a balanced leech.
So, my total for the day was 4 for 9 and all 4 landed were "rats". :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Most of my grabs and hookups were between 11:00 till 2:00.
Hummmmmmmm.................. afternoon bite.............that's not suppose to happen. :confused::confused:
Now, the fellow that landed the 10lb plus fish asked me what I was using this afternoon, I showed him, and he went with a white over white popcorn beetle.
Shortly afterwards he asked me for some help netting another big one for him.
Sure enough, this fish was even larger than the one he landed this morning.
The general consensuses (from the small crowd that had gathered) was that this fish would easily go over 15lbs. :cool::cool: AND it took the white over white beetle. :eek::eek:
So, I fished till 6:30, purposely, to avoid the evening commute traffic through Reno. ;);)
I packed up and left the lake right at 7:00 and enjoyed a small thermos of Cream of Potato soup on the way home. :cool::cool:
I'll give it another shot next week !!!!!!
