Here is a trip report from one of our newest members, Dave Wilton. He decided to take a day off from studying for Medical school to head to cardiac Hill on the Meramec River.

I arrived at the Cardiac Hill parking lot just before 7AM and I was the only car in the lot. My car thermometer read 55 degrees, a chilly morning!  I started fishing immediately downstream from the access at the first nice hole.  Immediately I missed a fish when I went to recast at the end of my drift. A couple minutes later I had one on. I decided to move upstream and caught another fish at the next hole. In about the first half hour I had caught two fish and missed a couple more.  I landed one more fish further upstream. The action was better than I was expecting, a better fisherman could have had 5 or 6 fish.  Unfortunately, something came up back in town that I had to attend to, and I cut my trip short after just 4 hours of fishing.  I caught the fish on a glo-bug tied with early girl McFly Foam and a white perdigon nymph from the previous night’s fly-tying session. All in all, it was a beautiful day on the water!
