in 2 weeks we've now received about 15" of rain. fucking nuts for here. Friday night into Saturday over the course of 5 hours the rain gauge at one of our bridges topped out at 5.5", just about every bridge in northern Lancaster county was shut down yesterday.
exploring new to me lakes has been tough, especially with the high water as of late, but managed to fool a couple bucket mouths

I know it’s a super slam, and a redneck super slam would have snook and redfish etc.? Tenkara super slam?

That was a nice fish but fuck it wasn't worth it. Going in for another surgery today, I pulled the screws out of the bone holding that new plate in at some point on Sunday. When the doc cleared me to fish, he probably didn't know I'd be chucking a heavy ass sink tip and a giant streamer all day. FML.
Catching up, as I was gone fishing.
Nope, just a regular old Largemouth.Quote:

Fun trip. I kinda like going after or between the "hatches". BTW, (in reference to the other thread), our guide said that he did a float with wounded warriors this year, (so some used spinning gear), and one boat got 16 pike, and another boat got 22 right near Missoula. They threw them all on the bank.

Thus ends another summer. On to fall fishing.
Yup. Floated the Snake canyon with my wife and kids on Saturday. It was on fire. Kids stuck lots of fish on the fly sticks.Quote:

Shit...I even dropped a 1/4 oz jig and twister tail with a 7wt in a few deep holes. Not a damn thing. Thankfully there was smoke in the air and a bottle of brown water!
Colors were going north of JH! Fall fishing seems to be here. Things should pick up with some steady weather. Shitty or nice. Can’t beat fall fishing when it’s on.
headed up to row another greens one fly tournament
Drew decent stcks and it doesnt get much better than scoring one at the put in
