Was feeling pent up from work before the holidays and hunting season out till after christmas so decided to show my FIL some fly fishing. Was out Wednesday the 23rd in the rain, water tempature wasn't that cold (didn't have a thermometer). Saw several fish actively feeding and was only out for an hour and a half. Went through several flies before i found what these holdovers liked and got my first strike. The were slamming a size 18 black pheasant tail. Even in the rain it was a still a great day to be out.

You might consider coming to our Tying jam in February with your dad! Its fun time for all. Check out the thread for more information.

I can look into the tying Jam but february is tough for me. Audit season consumes my life till April 1st.

Hi FFF! thanks, let me check my schedule and maybe we can meet up. I did go out on Sunday. I have a brand new set up that I wanted to break in and catch something. I managed to get a beautiful and very healthy rainbow that was around 13". I fished the special reg section. I had never fished that section before and it was very nice. There were a few others out too, since the weather was very nice.
