Fly fishing

Sam Hannon, Chase Davis, and I went out yesterday morning at 5:30.  Fishing is about the only thing I'll get up at 5:30 to do.  We headed to the White river below Beaver Dam.  I've never had much luck there, but now we have secret weapons...PJ's Finesse Baits.  Our friends Jim and Pam Hall make them, and they have these microjigs that are phenomenal.  I know they're not true flies, but they are hand tied and they only weight 1/180 of an ounce, there were all sorts of guys fishing around us, and they kept getting closer and closer the more fish we caught.  By the end, everybody on the river was within 50 yards of us.  We pulled out over 100 fish, and there were periods of time when we were catching fish every cast.  We pulled out at noon when the dam started generating.
 
I wish every day of fishing was like that!  You can check out Jim and Pam's jigs at www.ejigs.com

So....anything new since Fly Fishing??? You're either the worst blogger of all time, or an extremely busy person, or just a person who realized the vanity of blogging.
