we did see that.. we pretty much just scouted around to see where some good spots might be. We did fish some but nothing was biting. We also went out to Nolan Park and the water was alot calmer. No luck there either.

Bud's got that right. Now's not the time to test your swimming skills.

When the water settles down a little....the real run will get going. They will be all the way to the bridge in Blum pretty quickly. Be careful parking and leaving your car at Nolen River Park. Do not leave anything valuable in it while you are gone. That place has had problems for years.

okay, so I went to the Nolan river today. Have access on private property, so I don't know where I was in relation to any bridge. My guess would be that I wasn't far from public access since I saw some others walking the river. It sounds like I was a day late. Our group caught 10 fish and half of them were small blacks. A guy came by and said he caught 100 yesterday from where I was standing. A day late? Really?

swalker9513,
It can be a difference of a day, an afternoon, or a half hour. Last Sunday, four of us went in around 9:00 and caught virtually nothing till 11:30. Two guys left at 12:30 and that from 14:40 till 2:00 pm the schools came into our spot and my friend Jeff and I caught over 25 fish all with in 12-15" range.

The last 2 days, I had the priviledge of fishing with Jim Teeny and the reat of the gang from the FWFF'ers. What a blast. Monday we fished a private lake in Glenrose, and had a blast. Yesterday, we fished the Nolan, and landed over 300 sandies by noon!!! Oh my God, it was one of those days. Big females, included. Jim could not have timed his trip any better. We fished him so hard, he slept all of the way home. He then gave a great presentation on Tuesday night. He has traveled all over the world, and caught some unbelievebale fish. He is truly an amazing fisherman, and his flies work great, too. He really didn't have what he really wanted to throw, so he stuck to what made him famous. The Teeny nymph. Those sand bass just didn't hit his flies, they hammered his flies. Mine worked pretty good, too. One fly all day, over 75 sandies, and I still could have caught more. BEST DAY , this year on the river. No doubt!!!

Pics coming soon. Troutbum

Pics from the trip.

W0W! You said Jim Teeny and I thought who was that with the same name as Jim Teeny. But its Jim Teeny! I bet he had some cool sink lines with him

Man, you guys did great Russell, I envy you with the greatest respect and thank you for continuing to share images with us.

Trout Bum, you lucky dog you.... hey does anyone know of a video for the Jim Teeny Nymph? That sounds AWESOME.

there is one of him tying on his website

Yeah, it's Jim. He's aged a bit since the videos you have probably seen, with his 70's hair style. He is agreat man. Good sense of humor, so many funny stories, and a great angler. His lines are awesome, too. I am going to load up. His sink tip lines work great. Get small bugs down, without weighting the fly, or line. He mentioned 1 line I've got to have. he calls it the chunk, and duck. Heaviest sink line out there. This would be great to throw flies that resemble worms, or leeches. The new catalog will be on his website, and I will try and post any information that I receive back from him. Supposed to send back some stuff for us.
The story he told about how the teeny mymph's beginning was hilarious.
Later, troutbum

WOW TB, fantastic!!
Thanks for sharing!!

I'm going to try to make a trip to the Nolan this weekend--in the Blum area. I went a couple of weeks ago and got skunked. I'd love to know what I did wrong other than the wrong place and the wrong time.

I fished a crystal minnow in white and an olive wooly bugger. I know I got on the bottom in deeper pools, but no fish.
