Sure, this fly fishing picture suffers from massive technical flaws, but I like the subject matter.

The picture sucks, but the moment didn't...
(It didn’t hurt that I was the dope holding the camera and the bamboo fly rod.)
After a December only barely populated with outdoor pursuits, I found myself at the shooting range on Saturday and fly fishing the Upper Sacramento on Sunday.
God, I hate it up here.
I wondered if the dying October Caddis bite was still on, and I discovered it was.
More when I can find a minute to write about it.
See you outdoors (finally), Tom Chandler.




























Interesting. I hit the water with everything along the trail down in Castle Crags and got skunked. Beautiful though.

The dying October Caddis bite holds on longer upriver. Also saw some BWOs and two trout working them (at least until Wally swam through).

A bent rod. A good sign.

Not if you’re a fish. But in my case, it’s a lot more compelling than a United Airlines ticket agent.

I think it is a great picture! Makes those of us who are not fishing insanely jeaolous!

Especially that rod. Don’t tell Tom or those other Bamboo fanatics but that stick is just gorgeous.
