Cream with your coffee (anyone)?

Thanks guys!

That's a great fish. Was that after I left or before, and were you guys in that same spot.
I was using a red midge, but I didn't get nothing for the hour that I fished. After that I went to the AR for some steelies, but got skunked sunday and monday. Then I almost walked into a skunk on sunday night. Someone up there is just rubbing it in.

Lol, man what a day. That was after you left LilWhippersnapper and in the same spot. As JT said I must have landed it on his nose. I didn't have a single strike before or after that.

great job emerger, way to paly that dirty water and come out clean. sorta speak.

man i miss putah, but something about using 2x leader tippet, size 8-12 flies, and the ability to catch 20"+ fish is so hard to pass up, especially knowing that the 30"+ is unacheivable as well. got to love the AR.

Ill be out on the AR on friday, weather permitting, (well kinda). i think chuck the duck will be joining me as usual till about 2ish, but i think we will have room for one more to join us. just let me know.

One of these days I'm gonna take you up on that Brian. One of my goals is to hook into a steelhead this year. Just can't take the time off now. Will the fishing on the AR be any good in late Feb? That's looking like the first opportunity I may have for taking a day off during the week.

The American River may not be open to fishing in late February due to low water flows.� There is a proposed closure to protect the spawning steelhead.�

typically the A is still good late feb. used to be good thru march and even good 1/2 way thru april, but the past couple years the #'s have declined and the fishing wasnt too good in march and april.

Guess I'll have to get sick one of these days before Feb 10th then :)

well i am always off on fridays. fridays seem better than mondays, but yesterday was a good day as well due to the weather over the weekend. normally on the AR the weekends are crowded and get hammered come monday the fish are hunkered down and you cant buy a bite. but due to the weather over the weekend it wasnt hammered at all, so yesterday was a good day.

but ya fridays, and sometimes mondays, i think next weds ill be off, during the week is great, its just like putah, during the week its dead for the most part, come the weekends its crazy.

just shoot me a pm emerger and let me know when you are going to get the coughs and ill make sure to take it off. what ever day it is, it will just be you and me out there.
