Went out with Spydeyrch and his newbie buddy yesterday for a couple hours. Felt good to catch fish, even if some were 2".

Here's my attempt at a video-

Pretty cool video man!! Did you guys find lots of fish?
Wow my flies look really bad!!
 
Landed probably 40? Had lots of others on that popped off (barbless). Lots and lots of really small guys hitting large flies so I purposely didn't set the hook MANY times. Largest was probably 10". Had a good one on that wrapped me around a stick and got off. Average size was probably 6". Plenty fun on my 3wt.

As to the fly box, I had no idea that you even lost it and was just hopping along the rocks and spotted it in the water. Not even looking for it. About 20 yards down below that bend near the road with the steep rip rap bank. After I found it Andrew said it was probably yours as you lost one in that area earlier.
 
40 fish!!?? That's a great day on the water! It amazes me that creek been so little but with lots of fish on it!! I have to go back some day but with a bike! The hike is long!
 
I want to hit it up lower down near the confluence. A bike would be nice. It closes end of the month, so I'll have to try to get up there again in the next couple weeks.

Thanks for hitting it up with my MM! Cesar (my n00b friend) had a great time!! He wants to go back out again. He had only ever fished once in his life but had never caught a fish. So this was a great experience for him. He got like a 20 min quick lesson on how to some-what cast a fly rod, then a few lessons on reading the water, and off we went!1 I think he did pretty well for his first time. He was pretty tired after it all though!! hahahaha :lol:

Funny thing was that he was so astounded at the fact that fish would hit the flies that he would just stand there in AWE and then after a few moments try to set the hook. He was a little slow on the hook sets so that is something we are going to have to work on.

Cool thing about this trip, I was going to take my friend with me up there and then MM PMs me and says that he wants to hit it, without knowing before hand that we were going up there already. Crazy coincidence!! :shock: hahahahaha!!

I feel kind of bad though because I had to semi-cancel with Brandon for this trip to work out. :( We didn't have anything concrete but I still felt bad having to tell him that I wasn't going to make it down there. My friend wanted to stay closer to home instead of going down south. I hope Brandon was able to get out on Sunday. :pray:

I have a pic that I will upload shortly.

As far as hitting the creek again, Waco & MM, we need to hit it up one more time before it closes the end of this month. Lets get something planned, ok! Would you prefer a half-day or a full day?

Take care y'all! :)

-P.S. MM, thanks for putting up with my vocal show of excitement every time one of us caught a fish ...... again ....... brings back memories of last year!!! hahahahahahahaha :D
 
Haha I was editing the video and my wife says, "What is that noise? Did you go fishing with a girl?" when you were yelling. How about this coming Sunday the 26th? I checked out directions to the road on the lower sections using Google Earth, looks like there are three bridges where it crosses the creek, and it's accessible by car.
 
I'm down if you guys invite me!

hahahahahahahaha, that is hilarious!!! hahahahahahahaha Oh man how embarrassing!!:redface::doh:

I think that only fishing does that to me. Cause I don't recall screaming like a girl when I do any other activity (i.e. climbing, hiking, scuba diving, flying, camping, horse back riding, etc.) hahahaha, but anywho, it still cracks me up!

What did she say or how did she react when you told her it was me and not a girl? hahahahah :lol:

I think it was along the lines of "Well he doesn't have a very manly voice".
