I'm here. Gettin' in the spring creek groove. Why not? I called at 7:30, and Theresa answered with a sore throat from surgery. There was room for only 3 more rods today, and I was one. Met Darrell at the mansion at 8:15. (Betty's bedridden, not well) Strange not to be greeted by such a cheery person. She's always answered the door--for the last 30 years anyway.
Got to Eva's section to find Mr. Wonderful and two clients already staking claim to the rising-fish water. I went below, but few fish up there. After catching one and a few misses on a #24 Griffith, I headed downstream to the re-entry section. They were doin' it all up and down both sides. After asking the only other guy there if I could get in 100 feet below him, he said sure, and we fished the whole run from 10:30-3:00.
7X is good. Fished four feet of it all day. Can't pull hooks with it. Not a single wind knot all day. No break-offs. It stretches really well, good stretch. Way better drifts than 6X. Caught several fish casting upstream to 'em. And across. It piles up nicely. Small flies caught the fish. Baetis on the lower section. Hatch sparse. Good day under bright sunny skies, no wind, and mid-sixties! It felt good. Fished good. Won't last.
