Dipping in the Bath Water

Hit the local lake for the first warm water session of the year. The scenery was beautiful, the water was warm enough to bath in(making the neoprene waders and even more ridiculous choice...) and the fish were assholes. And no, I don't want to talk about it.

A horrible day fishing but a great night on the water

I live in SE PA and we have had almost no rain all summer. The last two days it rained all day and put the water levels up a little bit. I thought I'd go out and swing some streamers. I was hoping that the extra-murky water might get some catfish cruising around. I grabbed my 8 wt (which I wanted to dust off before my steelhead trip next month anyway) my reel with sink tip on it, and hand full of streamers and nymphs and went out the door.
