That’s some quick casting , catching , playing , netting and releasing.
Bet that wore you out .
Might have been a little more than 4 hours as I didn’t check the clock until I got home….but it was no more than 5 hours. Lot of good things about today…..had the river to myself for most of the time. They were stacked up just where the books say they should have been. Cast into the riffle and let it drift into a slightly flat pool and bam…..hit every time. Didn’t lose a single spoon…..which was a feat within itself. The brood trout tore up the hook pretty bad so had to tie on a new spoon but have replacement hooks. You are right…I am wore out. One doesn’t want to leave when you get into them like that. Two months ago I could not have stood for longer than 10 minutes. When I had my spinal surgery exactly a year ago my doc told me it could take a year to see full benefits of the surgery. I had some immediate relief but the muscle weakness in my right leg would not allow me to walk very far at all or stand for long periods of time. About 6 weeks back I woke up and the muscle weakness was gone. Didn’t even tell my wife about it for about 2 weeks as I thought that my problem would soon return. Well it may yet return but so far I’m a new man. My back gets sore but I figure that is from lack of use for several years. Two weeks ago did a tour of the Biltmore in North Carolina. To most not a big thing….but I have to say the place is huge and you have to navigate 200 steps up and down huge stairs. I made it fine. Looking forward to the flow dropping so I can don the waders and fish more places.
