To be honest, I've just go nothing to say. Tried a couple places in the morning (15 minutes each) caught one yearling 'bow. With the wind over 15, I skipped the afternoon fishing, opting to spray the fruit trees, trim the dead branches off the apple tree and patch the porch roof. Left camp about 6:15 this evening with the radar showing that all of the T-Boomers were passing to our north. They didn't. Back and forth to the car dodging lightning strikes and downpours. Took a downstream ride right into a storm and a ride back upstream to fish (30 minutes) in the fog with sulfurs on the water and fish rising. Caught several 7 inch wild browns and one 11 inch hatchery fish.
Returned to the Lordville Estate to find six deer standing along the road as if to welcome me back. I don't know how hard it rained in Lordville, but it rained, and the porch was dry.
Sat before, sure I’ll sit again
Angler119. You were wise to skip the afternoon fishing. Fished the Red Barn from 12:30 till 2:30. The wind was really nasty. It was blowing upstream ,hard to get decent drift. I tried every casting trick I know , Not a lot of success. They’re some sulphers , but not a heavy hatch and some fish working, but not a lot. And no fish hooked . Moved downstream ,one easy access area at a time trying to avoid the wind. Nothing happening. Ended up at Bard- Parker when the T-storm hit . Time to leave. Do qualify for a spot on “ the bench” or do the difficult conditions give me a pass? If I need to take a seat, that’s ok
