Waving a stick in a river
To help my soul bounce back from the weather from the hurricane weather down on the mountain in West Virginia I choose to go wave a stick in a river on Tuesday.
I recall my youth and want to catch as many fish as I could. I can remember the excitement of the possibility of it.
I can recall the feeling of being so excited to see what adventure lay ahead of me for the day.
Today’s adventure would lead me to explore a few creek mouths that could have fish migrating from the Allegheny River. She was running @ 4000 cf/s with a gauge height of 3.50 feet. Her inky green color was so reminiscent of the Great Lakes tributaries.
I took my 5-weight switch rod and my 6-weight single hander too.
The winds where still an issue today. I watched trout jump out of the river to mock me. That was funny to see. They were in currents that I could not navigate with my fly rod.
After six hours of trying to redefine insanity, it was time to call it a day. No fish were hooked or brought to hand and that was ok for me.
