It was great to get out and see old friends and meet new ones for a day on the water. I don't think I got to meet everyone, but hopefully I'll get another chance to do so.
It was a long drive, but I'm glad I came. I got to see another part of the state, and to fish a few new places. Any time spent with you guys offers tremendous potential for learning, and Sunday was no exception.
Heritage-Angler: Thanks for taking the time out to show me a few of your special places. I know you have a busy schedule, and that's why I really appreciate you making sure that I had a good time while I was out there.
LRSABecker: Thanks for your generosity in letting me stay for the night. I don't blame you for sleeping in; we put in a solid day of fishing the day before.
Squaretail: It was good seeing you and the "fish welcoming committee" again. I wish I could have brought in a few more fish for them to greet :-D. I hope you and the "girls" got home safe. Hopefully, I'll have the reach cast down the next time I see you 🙂
I'm really envious of you all; there is a lot of good fishing on your side of the state. I hope to see you all again sometime.
P.S.
I fished BFC late in the morning on the way home. There were no airborne fish this time; I left completely skunked. The water was low and clear, but quite cold given the heat. The fish were rising late in the morning, but I couldn't get within casting range without spooking them. Have you ever seen a frightened fish race up the middle of a pool, and scatter all of its buddies upstream in the process? It is pretty frustrating, yet amazing in its own way. Strangely, these kinds of experiences motivate me to improve, and I will return to try again.
