Headed up to my favorite stretch of the weeb saturday afternoon for some long awaited flyfishing and possibly a greenhead. with Kelly(kokehead). We got suited up and headed up the river. Within 100 yards, i saw a buck and hen in the center of the river. I figured it was a lost cause to try and catch them but gave it a shot anyways. 3rd cast, the big male took my #22 Zebra Midge and took off like a rocket! I fought him for over 5 minutes in the current but finally got him to the net. Fly out, a fast phone pic and back to do his fatherly duty. 25" or so and about 5.5#. He was beautiful.
We fished up the river another mile or so and caught a dozen fish between the 2 of us. Mostly small browns but kelly caught 1 small white fish and a small bow or cutt.
On the way back to the truck we jumped 2 woodies and i had no shot but already had my gun off my shoulder when 2 mallards flew over. 2 shots and down came a nice mallard. Not a stellar day on the weeb, but ok. The water is clear but still running a little fast and high for my liking.
I will see if Kelly can get the pic of the pig posted or transfered somehow.[cool]
