PK Tailrace 12-30-2010




Yesterday, I went fishing at PK again. The water was crowded not only with hardware and bait fishers, but also fly fishers. The action was slow at first, but I went up stream and caught some stripers. The crowd disappeared after the first big pool. They were small fish. I caught them on a fly that tied, and I saw them rise and made some good casts to them. I tied an elk hair caddis fly with a black dubbed body. Small or not, they were still pretty cool to catch. I also caught a rainbow trout. I caught it on a small zebra midge that I tied. I had some new waders that performed well. Not a bad end to the year. I need to start taking some pictures of my fly tying efforts.

PK Tailrace 12-23-2010

Got out for the first time in a couple of months. I went to the Brazos River below Possum Kingdom dam. The weather has cooled off. The air temp was in the 50's. Swamped my hip waders and messed up my iphone. I did not get any pictures of the two trout I caught. Both were caught on a zebra midge with a gold beadhead and green wire ribbing. Dropped some of the flys I bought in the river. Not a good trip as far as gear goes.
