Trips: Mind Clearing Solo Trip

So it seems that I have this need to go fishing every 10 to 14 days. It just so happens that while my wife and I were having coffee on the deck Wednesday morning she asked what my plans were for the day.  I casually mentioned that I haven’t fished for about 3 weeks, her response, so what’s stopping you. Being a man of few words I was pack up and headed to Bennett Spring and in the crystal clear water fishing by 2 pm. It turned out to be a great day. Not overly crowded and the fish were happy to feed on my flies. I had netted 15 by the time the horn sounded at 8 pm. Midges, nymphs and the dreaded orange mop fly worked well and just before the horn I put on a hopper dropper and caught a couple on the hopper. I spent the night at Sand Springs resort, had breakfast at the lodge. Talked with Mr. Reading for a few minutes, got a tip on what was working and then back to fishing. Thursday was not as productive and I only netted 4 fish. I think it was because I was to busy observing and talking with the friendly people along the stream. By noon the heat was building and it was time to pack it in.  All and all it was a great relaxing 1 1/2 days of fishing therapy. I guess I’m good for a couple of weeks, but wait I’m going to Montauk next week.
I’ll just have to take off the following week(not). Sorry for the poor photography but it’s all I can do to net the fish.
