Yesterday I went to Hooker Falls to fish a little, as the delayed harvest season opened at noon & I thought I might get lucky. I saw several people with nice stringers of little ones, so I wet a hook & waded a little, but the easy places had been fish pretty hard already. The season really opens at 6am for young folks & they had done well.
So I went to the falls where a lot of folks were swimming & jumping off into the river. Three guys were fishing at the base & I thought to myself "they'll never catch anything there with all that commotion". In a little while one of the guys obviously had a nice fish on, as his ultralight was bent double & he was reeling hard.
What a beautiful fish! It took him & another guy to land it as he had no net. It almost got free several times & I almost wished it had. He caught it on a cricket.
Then I took a ride & found Green River Preserve, a place where Alan & I may go fish this week. It's an outdoor education center & looks beautiful. It'll be good to see my friend tomorrow & have him here with me a couple of days. On Wednesday I'm going to Asheville to have lunch with an old high school buddy, David Rickman. It'll be a nice way to spend my birthday!
