Day Two A good night sleep ,5:00am wake up call ,we hit the river with all these crazy flies. As luck would have it rain came down all night so the river was flooding and muddy. I know the river somewhat well so we walked about 1.5 miles to a feeder creek thru the woods. Not long Paul and I see fish feeding next to the bank. I rigged a 10’ leader 3 small slip shot about 4 feet from the fly and the blue looking fly (you can see in the other article) with an orange egg pattern as a dropper. Paul rigger with a similar outfit. Paul being new to steelhead fishing I guided him for the first few cast. No luck !! GD FLIES DON”T WORK… I kind of agree. It can’t be the fisherman must be the flies. Now it is my turn. I changed up flies and cast to a nice fish holding in a slower seam in the creek. I cast to that fish for 2 hours Nothing. Then the dam thing hit. Some pink par fly? With all my skill I managed to lose this fish after about a 5 minute fight #$@%. We walked and fished up and down this creek. I just finished a seam went down stream came back and Tom Liddy hooked a nice hen steelhead on a conventional BLACK STONE FLY!!! I had just fished this section not 10 minutes earlier. Cool nice fish Tom!! The day continued like this for me lip stinging 6 steelhead landing none. The next day we went to another creek an hour or so from Pulaski. This is rally nice water 1 mile up stream from the lake. With in minutes I got a small brown on a black stone. I still had the steelhead fever lip stinging 4 more. I could see the fish moving into the pools. I made some good casts I just could not land the dam things. We had a great trip, learned a lot lost 100.00 worth of flies and countless dollars worth of humiliation. I can’t wait to go back for round 12! Steelhead 11 Joe-m 0… See Ya on the river Joe-M
