This morning’s #flyfishing #bookonthedecktime is The Optimist by David Coggins. In describing his first unsuccessful encounter with big Patagonia trout, a regular occurrence for this angler and on my local river too. “…we want to learn something without admitting we didn’t know it…” Flyfishing has something to teach every day, like why the #cahills were emerging last night but only one fish could be fooled into taking mine. #tightlines #goodread #grandriver #fergusThe real thing vs my attempt at imitation #browndrake #waitinggame #flyfishing #grandriverFirst on the river this morning. Second year fish. Third drift. #flyfishing #grandriver #caddispupa #browntrout #fergusontarioIt’s not every weekend during a pandemic that you get to spend time on the river with the boys, one yesterday, one today. This afternoon, the #grandriver came alive. Around 3pm the #hendricksonhatch went wild and the stockers wouldn’t leave the #hendrickson #emerger and #sparkledun patterns alone! An hour later, it was all over. What a special way to spend an afternoon! #flyfishing #fatherandsonTook @mathesonmurray and cecihuii for their first #flyfishing experience on the #grandriver. A couple of stockers were netted by each of them! Great day on the river!That moment of euphoria when a #lakeontariotributaries #steelhead nails your #eggfly and makes a run downstream, with #screamingdrag versus that feeling of disappointment when it comes #unpinned, again! #wilmotcreek #flyfishing #springsteelheadfishing
