We arrived around 530 ish Thursday morning and drove right up to the river. I immediately went over to the river to check it out and all I have to say it left me awe on how beautiful it really is. It is the type of water I was used to from around this area. So we geared up and headed to Randy's fav pool of the river.
Well there was fish there I would say 20 or so roaming around taunting us, splashing, rolling, any they could to let us know they were there. So the excitement rush through our veins.
Then a friend of Randy's stopped by and gave us some advice of what was working so Randy tied on a red flashback stone fly type pattern, I would say size 14-16 ish. Freaking small I would say and I think it was his third or second drift while chatting to me this chrome hue came flying into the air, literally setting it owns hook. After about 6 more jumps and taking Randy down deep, trying to get into some brush. I finally tailed the beauty for him and took some pics. About 5 min later wham another fish by Randy, this one looked a bit bigger another hen. It bulldog Randy pretty good with some viscous head shakes and out came the hook.
That was about all the action we got for the weekend as temps dropped on Friday and the fish were turned off the entire say except a few small ones that decided to take a nymph. A lot of the fish have moved back as well as I only counted about 7 fish in the same pool this day.
We decided to head home early this morning (Sat) as well all know that we got beat down with thunderstorms and massive heavy rains and the river being surrounded by farm land would be dirty and well I would say the season is pretty much done now on the Ganny.
All in all, it was a great time with a good friend. Glad to land and watch him catch his first steelie of the year. Looking forward to our next journey the fishing world take us too.
cheers,
