It's slowed the fish down considerably but just as I was about to give up hope on a good night hooked two really good fish that broke me off. They were not hitting the streamers very good tonight so I switched over to my nymph rig on my three weight it paid off the generators will often kick up dead scuds and this fish took a coral colored size 16's scud. Took my little fairy wand well into the backing but managed to get it netted within about 12 to 15 minutes. [url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://i.postimg.cc/bsQJFvLj/

You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life you�re living. No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

Thought it would help on several slow nights ha never made a difference. [url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://i.postimg.cc/bsQJFvLj/

Looks like he might be dodging it today.
