Fantastic Luck on the Office Pond

I'm very appreciative of the fantastic luck I've had on the office pond lately, but like Muir said, "The mountains are calling..."

Fish Are Staying Fairly Deep

Another successful lunch break on the office pond today. Really had to give the flies time to sink, with these temperature fluctuations the fish are staying fairly deep.

Gorgeous Green Sunfish

Yesterday wasn't spent entirely on instruction. I took a few minutes and made some casts to a hole under a tree where I caught this gorgeous green sunfish and a few of his buddies!! Look at those colors!!!

An Incredible Day...

I got to spend an incredible day helping Steve Hudson introduce fly fishing to Georgia State University's Touch the Earth group. The day started with fly tying and casting instruction, then to a small bluegill stream to practice their new skills, then on to bigger water chasing white bass. Everyone in the group landed a fish on a fly they tied themselves!! Including this white bass caught by Michelle!! An awesome group of folks, I really hope fly fishing becomes as much a passion for them as it has for me these past few years. And, I hope I get to help Steve again with another enthusiastic group!

Time at the Vise

Spent some time at the vise tonight. The bluegill and crappie have been going nuts for these white and black micro-buggers.

Nobody else ever...

Had a great evening on the office pond. I managed to catch all 5 on the same fly and still didn't lose it! Seems I normally lose a fly 1 or 2 casts after landing a fish. Thats just me, though, right? Nobody else ever loses the one fly working that day.
