BC Again etc.. 10/24

O the Joy! Those of you familiar with BC know the feeling of which I write. It was a cold gloomy day, rain threatened and the wind howled. Very first cast brought a decent rainbow to hand foretelling a great day. We started at the "regular" spot, Hondo catching fish after fish by doing the "stimulator dance". Sticking with dries, mainly big ones, we had a productive time. Later in the afternoon a major hatch of bluewings came off. After a time the fish lost interest in the big flies, and thus we switched over to tiny flies. This yielded the big one in the photo to the right. Eventually, I tired of not being able to see my fly, switched back over to a big bushy, and preceded to catch fish after fish in the "honey run". At this point, Hondo was crying for the cold, an begging for us to leave. I had him do jumping jacks while I caught another 3 fish. I finally acquiesced, and we hiked out. Glorious brothers, simply glorious.

Birthday Bash

Took Hondo out to "mini-AK" on his birthday (10/10). It was a cool, beautiful fall day. Had a grand time, catching salmon, and a few 'bows and browns.

S. Fork Bust

The Unguided set out to conquer the mighty S. Fork, and were humbled. It has been blamed on perfect weather and a MASSIVE hatch of "homoerectus". Such is life. Enjoy the quick pics.

I need to clarify. We did catch fish. Our best day probably netted us 15 or so. Just none very large, and the action was slow. At one point on the last day, using a secret weapon, I hooked into 6 fish in a row. All smallish Cutts around 14". Hope that cleared the waters a bit.
