I am no computer wizard but for the third time with my new laptop I have erased three paragraphs of a blog with one touch of something I'm not even aware of touching. Pisses me off!!!!
Awoke this morning to a bright sun burning through the fog. Decided to clean out the blue bird boxes (they are on the shut down list). Assembled the necessary tools and walked out to the back yard where the two bluebirds that I haven't seen in over two months were waiting for me. The female was sitting on top of "their box" and the male was on a fencepost near by. It was as if they came to make sure I did a good cleaning job and to say goodbye.
Left camp about 1:00 to returned some hooks I bought by mistake and to drop off another load at the transfer station. With the WB high and colored I headed east. There were bugs, rising fish and fishermen on the BK. Found two pools with bugs, rising fish and no fishermen. Spent a couple hours trying to get subsurface feeding fish to eat my flies. Hooked and landed the same 16 inch brown for the fourth time in just three visits to his pool.
About 3:30 I decided to try a pool in the BE that had fish a couple weeks ago. There were no bugs on the water and no fish rising. Got a nice rainbow to eat a blind cast and when no other fish offered to participate in the fun I reeled it in and headed for home. It will be at least Wednesday before I return and that is dependant on weather conditioned, water levels and the deer hunting.
Will attempt to answer the neglected questions in the interim.
Marvin Rainwater. That brings back good memories.
