My father and I spent another Saturday morning at Deer Creek.
It was a great morning to be up there. Light winds, partly sunny skies, and fairly mild temperatures made for an ideal early spring day for the fishermen.
The fishies seemed to agree. After another fairly slow start (just 2 in the first hour) we finally found the magic lure for yesterday (hunter orange spinner) and it was on.
Three hours later we pulled the boat out at noon as the wind and rain made their appearance with 26 fish boated -- four filleted for family lunch today.
Unlike every other trip up there this year, our fly poles were almost skunked (they are usually the hottest ticket). This week had I not chucked the orange spinner in the total would have been less than 10.
