Nice day in the Locals
Apr 13^th, 2012, 8:22pm

By way of introduction, a few of the guys know me here as an active forum member & moderator on another site. I was briefly a member over here a few years ago when I was brand new to flyfishing and still had a 'Bloody Decks" mentality. I didn't have a clue as to hotspotting and fish handling and paid dearly... Roll Eyes

No harm, no foul & there's been a lot of proverbial 'water under the bridge' since then. Seems like a lifetime ago. I've always enjoyed the reports here as they often feature waters I don't get to visit. Guided the Kern for several years, but as a whitewater guide... Never fished it. Go figure.

That being said, I enjoyed a day out in my backyard. Took along a good buddy who guides in Utah full time during the season and watched him pluck the nicest local I've seen. Anyway, here's a few pics, along with some from other recent trips in my home water. I think you'll see quickly I love blue lines and ultralight gear. Tight lines to all!

Well, I gotta tell you, he made the intro all on his own on that 18" fish.... Had I known that guy was in a pool the size of my kitchen, I might have bogarted the hole! BTW, taking Kyle tonight up to that water you & I last fished at the Blu gathering. Rugby season's over, the real season is beginning!
