It was good to get out again. I went back to the place I am getting to know.
It rained for two days this past week, and there was a spike in stream level and cfs. Today they were on their way down, so I was curious whether the expansion of their world might have spread some more fish out in the river.
I hit all the familiar places--especially those places where I had caught fish last week--and a few new ones, but all I caught this time were leaves. Those big sycamore leaves ripping along in the heavy current can make your heart skip a beat when you hook one.
Yes, a tug from a leaf that big would definitely get your blood flowing. The sad part is that it's only a leaf.
