Wow, looks like you guys had a GRAND time!!! :D :D :D Let's see. . . trout, spotted bass, smallmouth bass. . . is that first bass a spottie or largemouth? Details, where are the details? -- What'd you guys catch 'em on? What kind of water were they holding in? C'mon guys, don't hold back! Darned fishy looking place. . . . Looked like a great day for wet wading too. 8) 8) 8) -- Mike "Green With Envy" Schobey

If I posted details , mike ..... There would be a million people out there , instead of three .

All the Bass were Spotted Bass , save one lone Smallmouth . 1 green Sunfish , 1 Bluegill , some large Carp that had my number ....

The Trout ate copper Johns , Prince nymphs , and Poo-Poos :twisted:
Leeches for Bass and Sunnies .

Glad to show ya around the $#%^&*@#$%$ river when you have the time - :idea:

[Hairstacker]

David, sorry, I meant details OTHER than the location, ha. Looks like you guys had TOO much fun! 8) 8) 8)

Looks like a great trip guys. Nice lloking trout and bass, especially that one MSP is holding. David, you seem to know those secret spots very well. Keep them that way.

[David Lee]

Hi Jason .

There are no secrets anymore . All you have to do is get a map and a copy of the DFG regs. , then find all the spots listed in the regulation book on the map close to where you are . Or take a compass , set it within 50-100 miles of home , and draw a circle ...... then look for blue lines or lakes .

It's as simple as that .

David

[Hairstacker]

OH NO, David, you WEREN'T suppposed to say that! Oh my God. . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Darian]

I sure hope the "Poo Poo" is a fly..... :? :P :P :P

[David Lee]

"Poo-paw" ...... Sorry , I'm a Birdnest sort of guy .

What a day indeed :!: David and MSP are expert anglers and they made me feel at home. I learned some high-sticking from a master...MSP I learned to "read" the water from the Wizard of H20...David THANKS!

My first steelie was caught on a beadhead Prince Nymph, size 16? a gift from David(alas I lost it later in a tree limb) I was high-sticking and at the tail-end of a riffle as I dropped the line down to retrieve it for a roll cast...BAM! A few good jumps and I was smiling for the camera...My second steelie was caught on a #16 Beadhead Copper John I tied with small red wire. It was caught in "fast" moving water at the tail end of a swing. I almost took a dunk but I knew if I did David and MSP would be there to laugh and take pictures :lol: Most of the bass that David and MSP caught were sight-fished which was cool. You would be watching the bass look over the fly and laugh as they went on by...

And, Wet Wading is a blast! I want to do it again and again and again :!:

Thanks guys for the trip...

Hey MSP, is the cell working :?:

[MSP]

Hey Thom, Good news! The cell finally started up again just after I got home from David's. The cell phone has been revived! Life is good! :D

[David Lee]

I was hoping the phone died for good ....

We'll try again , soon ! :P

Oh , yes ... A Machete for the Bamboo next time , also .
