The Explorer shook like crazy
all night from strong wind while the rain changed over to a crappy garbage type
snow and slush. After a late night at
the Trout Hunter Bar and Grill catching up with old friends, this weather you
see was not easy to wake up to. However,
fishing can be great on days like this and despite the harsh conditions, Granny
and I crawled from the sleeping bags early.
The big problem though is that these mornings are too cold and fishing usually
doesn’t start getting good till mid afternoon.
We didn’t have all day and while we checked on all parts of the river
until noon, not a fish or insect stirred. We left the Henry’s Fork today without
ever making a cast.
What made leaving not so bad
is I’ll be teaching a fly fishing school and fishing tomorrow and Friday up at
Flat Creek Ranch in Wyoming. Then on Monday night Granny and I return to
the Henry’s and will fish Tue and Wed.
I’ll bring Granny home so she can go to work and I’ll return Thursday
night for the Ranch opener party and likely wet a line on Friday for a few more
hours.
Saturday it’s back yet again because it’s Henry’s Fork Day. At 2 PM I’ll be giving one of my favorite presentations, “Fly Fishing through Midlife Heaven”. Hope to see some of you there for this great fundraising event.
Almost forgot – my fishing
doesn’t stop there either. On Sunday after
Henry’s Fork Day, the 17th, I leave for Baja to meet up with my pal Sam Vigneri (My friend from Casper, Wyoming that takes me with him
often). Sammy and I will enjoy a week of
beach fishing with Grant Hartman. The
Blog is on!
