Jan 1

and got there at dawn to catch the first fish of 2014.  Got a 21 in tiger at the red bridge.

Hit a dry spell for a while, but not so for fishing buddy, Dan.  He lit the creek up and did well on an olive nymph.  One was a good 22 in bow above the curve.

Steve joined us later and he started out with a bang, an 18 in fish on a shiner pattern.

Steve and I fished the rest of the day picking up a fish here and there, as did nephew Sean.  But the day belonged to Dan for sure.

The creek was a 10, the weather a ten, and the fishing buddies and camaraderie was also a ten.  The food was pretty darn good too.

Do wish Al could have made it.

Happy New Year.
