Monday was a great evening outing. Great weather, and had the opportunity to meet other members. Steve S gave some real insights on reading the river. The smallie caught was on a two tone, yellow top/black bottom, gartside bass bug. (At least, it was my attempt of tying a gartside bass bug.) Steve put me in the right spot, instructed where to put the fly, and we watched it drift down the seam. Wham! It was a classic, instructional led smallie lesson with the fish cooperating.
Lots of fun watching the carp master, and learning more about river fishing. Thanks Steve!
Also, Big Thanks to John L for arranging the outing. I believe we all caught fish, not great in size, but what the heck, the rods were bent. (I must admit, at one point a the snag felt good for a brief moment!)
Looking forward to Saturday's event.
