Went to Elk river (below Tim's Ford) today. Started raining as soon as we left Tiftonia. Good breakfast at the Decherd awful waffle. Hit the river and fished hard below bridge on HWY 50 till the 1st big bend. Nothing on nymphs, nothing on drys. Fish were hitting top water like crazy all around me but the smallest fly in my box (#18) was 4 times larger than the tiny midges the trout were eating emoBang emoBang emoBang .
Caught a trophy sized creek chub about 11" it didn't want to give me my nymph back.
Finally hooked a nice brown on a black wooly booger, then lost it, my only black booger on the next fish emoBang emoBang emoBang
They didn't want, brown or olive or white and I didn't have any blacks emoEnforce
Then it really started raining pretty good so we road around and counted turkeys inpeople's fields. 28 in one field was the winner.
"A bad day on the river is still better than a good day at work or at home watchin TV."
