A couple of months ago Daniel and I took an evening and went out to Thistle to fish. I hadnt been there since we took Nate at new years and so we thought we would give it a try. IT is a fairly small stream but has some nice size browns that are not always the smartest fish in the river. We had a good time fooling a few on a stretch that I had never fished before. Daniel had a couple of times so he know where to tell me to put the fly to get me into a few fish. Here are a couple of pictures.
Thanks for showing me a new piece of water Daniel!
This last weekend my est friend Nate Barker fly up from Dallas to do a little fishing (Thanks Kalli!). Friday we fished Hobble Creek and caught rainbows, browns, and then Wardsworth gave up a couple brookies. We had a great time except for the stinging nettle . Hobble and Wards are very small streams and I was impressed with Nate's improvement in casting on such a hard little stream.
The next day started out great. We took off and went up and over the right fork of Hobble Creek and into the Diamond Fork Drainage. We stopped at Sixth water and started down stream. The Creek looked good and there were lots of good pockets and back eddies the looked like they would hold a lot of sizable fish... Nope. We fished for about an hour with only one strike.
We decided to leave and go down to Thistle and see if the fishing was any better... Nope. We fished for another two hours and got one strike at the very end of our time there. It was a pretty disappointing day but Nate's casting did improve overall. We had a great time over the weekend and made some good memories. Thanks for coming up Nate!
This is the final section of this post. There are a lot of people out there that think that bamboo rods are weak and will not be as durable over the long term as graphite. Well watch the video, I bet most graphite rods could not hold up to this abuse.
Well, who wants to put in an order for a new Naneum Creek Bamboo rod?
