Sundays are a fun day at the shop. The “Duck Hunters” stopped in to spread their cheer, get coffee’d up, and flies hot out of the vise. Mango stopped in briefly, but that man had to fish so he jetted pretty quickly. Those boys were going into the top end of the DH section of the Chattooga to fish and that really got me wanting to go fish. Well I knew I would probably not find them if I walked in, so I headed to the Chauga to fish around 1:15. Well, what happened over the next 4 hours can only be described as an old testament smiting on the fish! It was crazy, the first two hours I caught almost everything on a Barr’s Tungstone. Thats right, a golden stone pattern. Weird huh? Then the next two hours were dominated to exclusion on the Brown Soft Hackle streamer( not to mention it caught a few during the first two hours). I feel like we should call it the Curse, or Bane or some other sort of dark painful name. At one point, two bait fishermen catching a buzz on the bank were commentating and providing play by play calls on my fishing. They almost bugged out when I caught two at once. Spinning rods were cursed is all I can say. All told, my count for the day was 32 fish…. Now we have pictures!!!!
