I injured my already wrecked knee months ago and was only able to go fishing a few times since. I haven’t had a fly rod out at all because I can’t put on or take off waders and walking on uneven surfaces is out of the question. Today I went out to a crowded state park with my 3 weight and a couple boxes of flies in my pocket. I parked and walked 50’ to the creek. I was that guy fishing at the bridge but without ever leaving the road and I could feel some judgmental eyes on me or perhaps I was just paranoid. It was a beautiful day and I ended up staying way longer than I planned. I caught sunnies on a yellow foam spider on almost every cast until losing it. I tried a few other flies without the same success. I settled on a copper/green foil beetle that was next best but nowhere near the yellow spider. The beetle did catch a small LMB as a bonus. All in all it was a great day to be retired.

Well done!
Attaboy for getting on the water and getting after them, especially with your recent challenges!
Now, go tie some more yellow spiders.

I went sunny fishing last Saturday. Knew it would be pretty empty since they were going to stock trout the following Wednesday. I was right. The sunnies were there. I had fun less the 2 miles from home.
