No grannoms yet?

Greg, when did we go last year? Wasn't it later than this?

 

[albatross]

Yes Tom, but as you'll recall we were late for the grannoms and ended up fishing little black caddis. Hoping to do better this year.

 

[tomgamber]

I recall I didn't have the dry fly they wanted to eat and hooked and lost a monster on a bugger...my life story...

You going to camp this weekend?

Ok so for this year one must remember the proper dry fly AND to wear his rain gear.

I still get cold thinking about how stupid and wet I was that day.

 

[skipper4080]

No Grannoms yet, been looking for them,been cold out here. Going out Thurs. 4/16 let you know what I find.

Yea we're going out to the little J today too. I couldn't believe how many BWO's there were out there 4/14! They were like tiny little sail boats every 2 feet in every direction. The fish were rising like crazy. It was beautifull.

 

[albatross]

Thanks guys. Think Spring!

Ryan, it was a bigger disappointment for me after having good luck with the grannoms the year before.

 

[skipper4080]

Gentleman grannoms started today heard the hatch was decent in the morning, they had a flight tonight which was not bad it's only going to get heavier from here.

 

[WannaCatch]

Yup. It was a great evening out there. The fish really lit up about 5 or 6 and we caught a few fish untill I couldn't see my fly any more.

 

[WannaCatch]

The hatch was great again, even better than the day before. It allowed me to catch my first fat 16" Brown . Can't wait for an 18-20" next!
Bugs were so thick I didn't even need to eat dinner when I got home. LOL
