Game fishing season has started here but it’s cold. Nothing moving anywhere so far.
I must get building my fly box back up. It’s got a little thin.
Missed out on some owl feathers this last month. A guy at work had found an owl hit by a car. Took the wings and preserved them. They are crucial for some old local patterns which I’ve been trying to tie for as long as I can remember. No joy, the moths had found them.
I popped into a garage sale last spring close to my house, had “fishing gear” marked on it so I popped in. this fella in his 70s had been tying for decades, picked up 3 plano boxes with about 50 different patterns. I did a rough count of 650 flies, mostly pumpkinheads, leech and muddler patterns. generic stuff for the area but they work.
Those are some gorgeous landscapes @Semmy
it was a windy, wet and cold (6’C) day on Saturday. temps are warming up this week. Hope to hit a few local lakes soon.
Have a weekend booked at Heffley Lake at the end of June, good fishing there.
