.
Been doing the best I can
Nothing more planned, but I took full advantage of the great weather this month. After five years of barely fishing due to some health problems, I decided this Spring to drag my butt off the couch and start fishing as much as I can. I joined the Granite Bay Flycasters, met a new bunch of folks, and started hitting the water every day I felt up to it. I finished the season by fishing the Delta the last two Saturdays, with Tuesday at Pyramid with Bill Quinn and Friday on the Rubicon in between. Yesterday was a spectacular finish: great weather, little wind, and willing fish. Surprisingly, we ended the day with 15 topwater strikes in two hours. Most were LMB, but my friend Curtisgot an 18-inch striper after sunset to wrap up the day. I was surprised that the bass were so aggressive with water temps this low., But they were all over some Bubbleheads that Paul Egan modified for me ten years ago. I met and began fishing with Paul and his wife Robin at a Kiene's BB fish out in the Delta back in the fall of 2007.
I should thank the two of them, Ed Wahl, Wayne Chubb, Scott Vaughn, David Lee, and all the other board members who shared their experience with me. I've been passing that knowledge on to others. While I'm at it, Bill, thank you for keeping this forum alive. Much of my fly-fishing education has come from here and Dan Blanton's board.
