I went out to Lake Amador yesterday to get some information for an article I'm doing for the newspaper. I wanted to find out if the fish were biting, were they biting on anything new or just the same old Power Bait, night crawlers, and Wooly Buggers.
The girl at check in said same old, same old. So I went over to the point by the spillway where I usually fish and snapped shot of the low water line. All the land you can see on the left is usually underwater at this time of year. Just past where the two guys are standing is the spillway.

At least I had some company |

Just a quick note, last Saturday I became an official, paid, Freelance Writer. Somebody finally decided that this stuff I write is worth paying for. Enough said.
OK, one more time down to the American River for a Steelhead try later this week. I was down there today, but the weather guessers said (according to Doppler Radar) that it was raining cats and dogs, but not Steelhead. So being the believer I am, didn't take my fly fishing gear with me. It wasn't raining.
Thanks for stopping by and Howard, only you would see the guy in the picture as a guy starting to take a crap. I think he was trying to keep his hands arm.

ReplyDeleteDo you really want to be known as "Tackle Shop" to the rest of the guys? A single fly box can hold hundreds of patterns.
One has got to be prepared. If that puts me into the same category as Tackle Shop, I'm in good company.

ReplyDeleteAs you know this time of year as far as fishing is concerned is going to be slow. I do very little fishing during Nov. Dec. or Jan. I know Feb. is the start of some great crappie fishing so that may be your ticket next.
Might I add, "Congratulations on getting paid for your Freelance work." That is a nice little kudo, Mark! Garlic might be worth the nibble if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteThose days come, and we learn that there are pleasures around, we need only look.
ReplyDeleteA nice place to enjoy that croissant.
Congratulations on the paid assignment Mark......as for not getting a fish, you spent another day in a nice place and that has to be worth something.
ReplyDeleteGetting paid to write about fishing, right on. As for being a tackle shop, well I own one and I also take one with me when I go fishing. You never know what's gonna work.
ReplyDeleteCheers
ive always been a huge garlic fan, who knows... the fish might like it as well?
