8/8/2010 And somedays the bar eats you

Sunday, Aug 8 2010

Did return to the same lakes. Had no luck. It seemed to be a bad wind day for fly-fishing. Spent most of the morning untangling my leader and tying on new flies. The bream weren't even biting. There are some monster bass in Sandy Beach Lake though. I'm sitting there watching them fly out of the water chasing dragon flies, probably 60 feet out from me. I didn't feel like wading, so I guess I'm a spectator this day.

I'll tell you about my troubles this day. When I got my leader out, it knotted together and I couldn't get it loose. I ended up having to cut it into pieces and tie it all back together along with some other pieces I had to make about a ten foot leader. This slowly broke off to about a 5 foot piece and I didn't have anything else to use and lost about 6 flies, so I just quit for the day.
