Opening Weekend

Saturday was to the be the day!
But my allergies kept me away.
Sunday, ah Sunday.

Cold & Gray, at 42 it was an ideal 1st weekend day. The water level was just right, not to high not to low & just a bit cold for anyone in their right mind to be waist deep this early in April.

I had a flee flicker of a 3wt 6.6 with a heavy isynicikia tungsten bead head.

down, deep, solw & across - - - - bang; A 14" spawning color abloom brookie.

noticed a long trailing tippet & thought about tying on another so i got out a woolly worm.

down, deep & down straight below me was an active surface, so... down & bang.

This one was difficult to reel in (a 3 wt is just not really opening day fare). As i lifted the head i noticed the most pleasantly surprising sight to ever see, let alone on opening day, there on the line with 2 hooks were a fine brace (2 fish) one, on the bead head & one, on the woolly worm.

I knew right then it was time to leave the day could not get better.
