Look forward to meeting you all!

we are talking the 14th&15th arent we? I dont mind being simple-minded, cause I cant help it anyway.LOL


pa

Correct Pa. And Fly Fishing is just my style, this is a fishing get together so, whatever you got...BRING IT ON! I do realize bait with flavor can spank any fly. It's just FF is how I roll.
I know I can be there till 2ish both mon and tue.




Some things are better left alone, Even though, some feel they know better.

I get Tuesday all to myself, so I plan to be there about 11 A.M. - at the latest. I could try for 10, if spring cleaning doesn't tucker me out too much on Monday.
I'll wear an Eeyore shirt, so ya know which one is me! ;)

The weather says it might rain (20% chance)...but oh well, that's what hooded jackets were made for!

I may be crazy, but it's kept me from goin' insane...

I hear that Vivid Dawn (I was going to use Initials, but thought again LOL)
It is a saviour from insane for sure. Look forward to meeting you!

When I first started using this alias, everybody in a chat room started teasing me... my sheltered, innocent little mind couldn't figure out why. Finally somebody explained it to me LOL You can use initials if you want. Or Viv, Vivy, Dawn...whatever!

Now the weather says it's snow showers! So much for global warming. Oh well, I'll just wear my thermals AND a coat.

I just heard that too, guess I should watch the weather channel more. What the heck, last I heard we were going to maybe hit 80's.
I can handle cold, I can handle Rain, I can even handle SNOW, but WIND! no can handle, so, just have to see if it dies down.

Is anybody still going to Willow Pond tomorrow? My weather thing now says 50% of precipitation! AURGH!
I think I'll at least drive down there, and get to know the area a bit. If it's not too bad, I might fish for a little while, too.
Today was nice...and of course, that means I had other stuff to do

I also plan on going to Weber River (between Hwy 89 and Riverdale, along I-84) on Thursday, if the weather is decent. It says it should be clear, just cold at 50 degrees. Once again, I'll just wear thermals. I have a light blue 1996 Buick Skylark, if anybody wants to come join me :)

pa

I had a good time at Willow today! I met flygoddess and tlspyder13, got sunburnt, and caught a lot of fish. I hope you all do as well tomorrow. Unfortunately I will probably be working.

  sorry i missed you. hope to have another chance to meet you.

pa

It was an interesting day for sure. I got there around 10: and there was Some wind. I started on the South side and caught a couple right out of the gate on the Bruise (black/blue Chironomid). Then I decided to check other spots. Ended up by the TREE where I met up with tlspyder 13 and son. What a great kid (both LOL) We were talking and watched my indicator go up and down but no solid hook up. So, I headed back to the south side. Fly Fishing does have its limits I caught a few more and one was DEFINITELY a LAKER. Beat up but a Laker non the less.

Kept flinging the fly till tlspyder and son joined me. Then he started getting into the fish:

He caught his first Albino:

By the way here is the albino taking off:

It was a nice warm day, but a little slower than usual. SBW however kicked a$$ with his bead head fuzzy on spinning/bubble, RIGHT ON!
Pa showed up and we talk for awhile and I scolded him for not bringing his gear.
nkunz showed up around 1 and wet a fly with us, but I had to take off a little before 2. Hope you guys did great, but I know the wind was getting worse.
I will wait and see what happens tomorrow. Like I said rain and snow don't bother me, but WIND!

Only bad part of the day was all the wind. It just never stopped. Slowed some but never stopped blowing.

Thanks again for letting us elbow in by you flygoddess and answering all my questions. We both had a great time. Was nice to meet and talk with some other BFT members I had never met.

I think we ended up catching about a dozen fish but the albino was the highlight of the day for me.

Going to meet my Drummer there around noon for a couple more hours today.

How did it go, sorry I missed it...
Eat it you dirty little fish!

It was farkin' cold!! Clear sky and sunny...but the north wind ruined any warmth that would've had. I ditched out on poor Pa after only about an hour, because I started shivering...and that was with 3 shirts and a coat on! I even borrowed his gloves, and that didn't help much. Now I know why FlyGodess doesn't like wind.
But, at least I know how to tie a decent knot now, thanks to him :)

Vivid, musta missed you an Pa. Got a call at 11 from G$ who had been up skiing, so I met him at the pond around Noon.
Wind was a howling, but I love a good challenge. Went to the WEST side just a few yards to the south of that inlet.
Put some "STRIKE PUTTY" on figuring it is great for tiny flies or windy days and this qualified for the later. Made a ball a little smaller than a small marble and put a Black/White tungsten bead Chirony on at about 7', with a small 4" tag a foot up in which I tied the Bruise. The Strike Putty really made it easy to roll cast the line out (like putting play dough on your line) however, I think the fish thought it was power bait cause they were smacking it!
I was landing fish every cast for quite a while. In otherwords in the HOUR we were there I probably caught about 15 to 20.
THEN! It happened again (second time with Chironys) Two different colored/size/depth flies and a double. I have had many doubles, but Chironomids...that doesn't happen very often, which means the fish were stacked up top to bottom.




Then it felt as though the temp had dropped 20 degrees and I could no longer feel my fingers. I definitely did not prepare for this, but after all, it was 70 something yesterday.....what the heck happened?!
IT WAS A BLAST! and NO TANGLES! Knock on wood, he, he, he.

I got tied up with a nightmare of a house yesterday and couldn't get away. I have to go to slc next monday to pick up concert tickets from u 92 and will stop over on my way back. Hopefully some of you will be there.




LDS BFT at its finest!
What a joke!

I left at 10:30, when I couldn't feel my ears anymore ;)
Pa said he caught about 30 in the couple hours before I came. Of course, I got nothin' but moss and weeds... doesn't help that I'm still learning to cast, and can barely get out past 50 feet or so LOL
