Wicked day on The J.R.

[TroutBumDave]

I won't bore you with pictures, etc. but I decided to hit the Jordan right by the prison. Wow, best day I've ever had for carp. There were billions of them and they were all getting their schwerve on. The water is still low, so you can see hundreds of them when they're in the shallow riffles. Yellow glo-bugs, damselfly nymphs, and a plain old, non-weighted black wooly bugger were the ticket. I also got to knock another species off "The List" after I caught a decent channel cat on the bugger. Then I caught another, then another, and then another. At first I thought it was just lucky, but then I figured 'em out. Who knew? They loooove the black wooly bugger, but only if it is being twitched as it's heading downstream.

The news of the day? As I was getting ready, a gust of wind slammed my car door... My baby, my love, my hearts desire -- my glass Fenwick -- deader than hell. Not just the tip, but just about a foot above the cork. Oh man, I am so .
