Man what a month does for my attitude. Remember last months trip to Oregon , rain, rain and more rain. Well this last week same damn thing rain and sleet…only difference I fished anyway. Stoneflies hatch in the rain, Stoneflies fly in the rain and trout eat Stoneflies in the rain…so we went and man did we catch fish. On Monday Dave Roberts and I floated the Rogue…60+ fish between us, averaging 14 to 18 inches. Tuesday was even better, we waded several sections on the Rogue as the flows are down to 1800cfs…perfect, 90 some odd rainbow and wild native cutthroats some as large as 21 inches, no wind, just right for 4 and 5wt bamboo rods….sweeeeeet. Stopped at the upper Sac on the way home and the late season rains have pretty much blown the ‘ole girl out, going to be awhile before its fishable. Big club Barbeque coming, June 9th at Oak Grove Park . Club supplies the steaks and we (members) bring the rest. See list at bottom of page for what you’re supposed to bring. Bill Laughlin again has put together a great raffle so come one, come all we are going to have some fun and eat some fabulous food. Also next week is our catfish derby at Oak Grove…June 5th, if you can lend a hand come on out…watching the kid’s fish is always a lot of fun. |
Damn mutts been in my books and magazines again and has a couple of suggestions for you. First from a friend and bamboo rod maker Robert Nunley one of the funniest books I have ever read…”The Snake Rod” a collection of TRUE stories about Bob and his friends , Second Inventing Montana by Ted Leesom. Also Kate wants to share some new information she is particularly happy about…ISE cancels San Mateo Expo, so local fly shop fires up own fly fishing show: http://bit.ly/8ZlBHY # Ok, it’s done and up and running…Delta Fly Fishers new web site…check it out and PLEASE offer any suggestion for additions and deletions you can. Our new web master has several things to change (he expected to), but had to get the site up and running so it can be find tuned…so any input you have for YOUR site would be appreciated. Thanks Harold, nice work. Hope to see ya at the Catfish Derby and the cookout…if not, maybe on a river.
