Thanks! Great pun. 😂 But no, it’s rather slow, we’re actually in a major drought.(literally)

Dear LadybugMichelle: I wonder if you ever heard of Junior Samples, of HeeHaw? He got his start on a radio program telling of a fishing story where he caught the largest fish ever recorded in his community, but told about "the one that got away!"

That’s a super sweet offer RJS and truly appreciated, but in all honesty I’ll more than likely be out on the river with no phone service. ❤️

Some really nice browns LBM, glad you included a “normal” one for our viewing pleasure.
Absolutely! 😊 I catch a lot of “normal” ones, I’m just to lazy to stop long enough to bother taking their photos. Honestly I get em back quickly so I can move on and try to find the next biggun. lol
Weatherman said 80% chance of rain and you know I can’t resist that, so back at em again today. I’ll post a photo of today’s fish, but first let me tell you about the one that got away. I’m still pouting about it. I hooked into a trout that was HUGE, and when I say hooked into it, I mean that literally. I’ve never snagged a fish before and I do believe I got this one in his back. I started hollering for hubby that I’d caught a monster because that fish was so heavy my arms were starting to hurt from fighting him. He shot down stream into some current and I could hear my reel and line just whizzing away. But that beauty jumped a few times and I saw him in all his splendor!!! Man, what a monster! By this point hubby is near me, tells me I’ve snagged him, and I hand my rod over to the fish whisperer….who lost my beast of a trout in about 32 seconds flat.

A great catch under nasty conditions! No fun when you get soaked...but if you are catching fish then it is much easier to deal with the inconvenience of hard rain! Way to tough it out instead of wondering what "might have happened" if you had stayed home! Sometimes the best fishing ends up being had in less than perfect conditions....
I’m a firm believer they bite better in a hard rain so I live for those days! 👍

You must have talked to the Trout Gods too. Nice fish! Do you do C & R?
Yes’sr catch & release, only out long enough for a quick photo and make sure they swim away well before moving on.
Was able to get about 5 hours in on the river this evening, we couldn’t pass up when the weatherman said there was going to be a chance of rain! And oooh boooooy did it rain!!! My tank top, underwear, and shorts (inside my waders) were soaked! Couldn’t wear my sunglasses cause they don’t have wiper blades, so rain was dripping in my eyeballs while I fished, good times. But I caught a couple big boys on my favorite corner…. so GOD BLESS you, mighty rain Gods! 👍
I’ve included a photo of the little guy I caught, to appease a couple of you - you know who you are! 😉
