Fishing Report - June 28
Greetings:
Got up at 4:45 yesterday morning and went to the Davidson River. The water was very low and when I checked the temperature, it was 64 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Laurel was in full bloom and I took some neat photos. The blooms were a delicate pink at the base, shading into the white petals.
In spite of conditions, a few fish started rising about 9:00 and I caught a pretty little brown trout. As I brought him near, a nice brown of 18 or 20 inches rushed him and I thought he was going to take him off the fly. After the release, I switched to a big black wooly booger with white hackle and a black marabou tail, but no takers!
I fished a little longer and caught a small rainbow. I could see some fish rising, but they were taking extremely small flies. I went down to a size 20 and it was still too big.
I quit early due to the warm weather and headed home. It was a fun outing with some nice photos, but water conditions and temperature have just about shut down the fishing for a while.This is a good time to concentrate on some bream.
Gene and I are planning on a trip to a local pond next week to see if we can catch the makings of a fish fry.I hope you are all surviving the hot weather.
Get out and walk, run or bike early to beat the heart.Have a great weekend.
