VISITING OLD WATERS

[richyd4u]

Had a great day this past weekend going to some old waters that I've missed dearly. I was happy to still see a good amount of water left in the lake, despite the drought. Water clarity was good with little growth in the shallows. First cast produced a football bow, and it was on from there. Ended the day around 30 bows and just 1 tiger. Had a couple cutts come up and smack my indicator, as they love to do lol, but didn't catch one cutt this trip. That's ok though, these bows by far outfight the cutts! These bows were mean and put on quite the aerial show. Best flies of the day were my #12 brown balanced leech with a #18 bh hares ear dropper. They loved both. fished them shallow around the lake edges anywhere from 2-5' of water under an indicator. Couldn't have asked for better weather, and I had great company with a pair of golden eagles hanging out on the shoreline next to me...and then when they left, Mr. Bald Eagle came down in the same spot and hung out with me for awhile. Pretty cool. Can't wait for the fall bite!
