Toccoa Toonage Humpday Style...Hmmm

FLY hit the Toccoa Tail-water Saturday and normally a float on this magnificent stretch of Trout Heaven would warrant a post of it's own, full of Magnum Trout Porn and Hero Shot's galore... unfortunately twas not the case. After hitting up Unicoi to get the low down on the ho down and seeing the twenty five inch fish caught the day before spirits were high. These spirits were short lived as the eight hour tour aboard the Ladykiller was awarded with two fish, for a grand total of eleven between the three of us (how bad do we suck). That being said I feel like we could have used some help locating some of those trouts and who better to help with that than the DOGFATHER!

In the end I think this kid pretty much sums up the way we felt on the ride back to the cabin (minus shoving the remote up our asses)...

Tight Lines and Sixty Nines! J

Hooray Its Humpday!

Seriously...

A Crappie Saturday

KPV, Doggie, and myself hit "Pop's Pond" to see if we could tangle with a few still water subjects. With all of the recent rains we figured we'd give the Trouts a break and I wanted to see if I could hang one of Pop's famous extra large, LARGIES on the ZA. We arrived to off and on rain that eventually gave way to blue skies and gale force winds. Soon after launching the toons Doggie was into one of his first fish on the fly.

A nice crappie taken on a Black WB. Not wanting to be out done I was quickly into a few of these... 

Shortly after that I managed to land this guy...

Not the steroid fueled LARGIE Pop's Pond is famous for but a fine fish none the less. A few more crappie were picked up along with a bream for good measure before the clouds moved back in forcing us to abandon ship for the day. We stopped by to catch up with Pop on the way out before heading back to Doggies to grill out, relax, and tell some lies. Not a bad way to spend Saturday...

A CASE OF THE MONDAY'S ON HUMPDAY!

Every humpday FLY will be bringing you a little something to get you through the rest of your hellish week. Will it be FLY related... probably not. I envision it being more like a therapist's view inside the mind of a schizophrenic. Enjoy! 

Did You Think We Were Locked Up?

I know it's been a few weeks, and although we were hassled by the 5/0, it did not end in incarceration. The clouds have parted several times and allowed us to hit the "River", but unfortunately it's been spotty at best. My best Roland Martin assumption is that the fish have been gorging on the Shad. The crazy weather has had the Shad dropping like flies and we have even caught Trout with Shad in their mouth ( I believe this is often referred to as gluttony). At any rate I guess the Groundhog knows his shit, as it looks like more winter weather is on the way. Batten down the hatches... we may blow straight through to summer!
