Have you ever had a day when you just wanted to go for a drive and get a "full" day of fishing in? That was my mood on Saturday and being the compulsive person I am I headed out a 4am to hit the lake with Chuckmiester and Greenguy88. Good to meet you Chuckmiester and good to fish again with you GreenGuy! I caught into my first fish before either of them had shown up with a sculpin bugger, if you look close you can see it hanging out of its mouth!

The action was steady all day, no monsters this week but 13-16 inch trout all day long caught on a variety of methods the best today was on flies. The fish caught on the lucky craft lure had 3 fish follow it to shore so I stopped reeling in and let the lure drop. The lure was in about 6 inches of water and this tiger swam up and grabbed it, it was a great show we could all see! I did pop for the lucky craft lure and this was its first maiden voyage, I would say $15 well spent!

I stayed at the lake until about the noon wind came up, the weather was perfect and the trout kept coming, here is another example of what we were catching:

Chuckmiester was making them pay with leaches on the fly rod, and greenguy88 made a big splash catching 3 fish within 20 min of his arrival, way to make an entrance. I have a two-pole permit and we had a double hookup and a third fish came 2 min after landing the first two fish. It was very visual fishing because about ½ the trout hit the bugger within 5 feet of shore and I could see them take it.
That would have been a day for most but I though heck the green is only another 1-½ hours away why not give it a try. I miscalculated and 2 ¾ hours later I pulled up to little hole.

It turned out the water was as low very low, and tons of moss along the shoreline and overgrown foliage to cast through. I did pick up one fish but due to a perfect long distance release I have no photo to share. What a humbling day, my last trip to the green produced more than 10 fish today 1 hookup OUCH. That is fishing for you!

Just one of those day's to take off and do fun stuff. I'm glad we can have day's like that, everybody needs those once in a while. No other stops on your way to the Green from the other lake ?? Well, you probably would have needed a week or two for that journey !! Let's go !!!..
