The alarm sounding at 5:30 am on Sunday morning was like music to my ears; however, I cannot say the same for my smarter-half, she Knows that I am crazy but I think she understands.
As I walk up to one of my new haunts at 6:45 am, I see three angler already settled in and one fellow who is playing a fish. As I approach, they are in the process of releasing a prize. Things looked promising and the weather was better than the day before.
After some 45 minutes of poking around; I was walking between two nice runs while allowing my offering to drift below me in some shallow rapids. Half way down the run, my float disappears to what I believe was a snag but instead I am pleasantly surprised by the solid tugging and headshakes....fish on!
After playing the fish for 5 minutes while wading back across the flow; I manage to beach a hatchery doe; not big (8 lbs 12 oz) but I am delighted as I don't catch many. Some fresh fish for the ones who wait at home and some new roe to replenish my dwindling supply.
On my way out, I run into Chris (of Maple Leaf Drenan float fame), I introduce myself and we chatted for a bit; an added bonus to my day.
Tight Lines and have fun,
SNAFU
