If I posted details , mike ..... There would be a million people out there , instead of three .
All the Bass were Spotted Bass , save one lone Smallmouth . 1 green Sunfish , 1 Bluegill , some large Carp that had my number ....
The Trout ate copper Johns , Prince nymphs , and Poo-Poos :twisted:

Hi Jason .
There are no secrets anymore . All you have to do is get a map and a copy of the DFG regs. , then find all the spots listed in the regulation book on the map close to where you are . Or take a compass , set it within 50-100 miles of home , and draw a circle ...... then look for blue lines or lakes .
It's as simple as that .

What a day indeed :!: David and MSP are expert anglers and they made me feel at home. I learned some high-sticking from a master...MSP I learned to "read" the water from the Wizard of H20...David THANKS!
My first steelie was caught on a beadhead Prince Nymph, size 16? a gift from David(alas I lost it later in a tree limb) I was high-sticking and at the tail-end of a riffle as I dropped the line down to retrieve it for a roll cast...BAM! A few good jumps and I was smiling for the camera...My second steelie was caught on a #16 Beadhead Copper John I tied with small red wire. It was caught in "fast" moving water at the tail end of a swing. I almost took a dunk but I knew if I did David and MSP would be there to laugh and take pictures :lol: Most of the bass that David and MSP caught were sight-fished which was cool. You would be watching the bass look over the fly and laugh as they went on by...
And, Wet Wading is a blast! I want to do it again and again and again :!:
Thanks guys for the trip...
Hey MSP, is the cell working :?:
Hey Thom, Good news! The cell finally started up again just after I got home from David's. The cell phone has been revived! Life is good! :D
