Great Day at Rough River

[Grumpy]

I got up early and me and my Ol' Buddy went fishing. Being post frontal, I didn't expect to catch much so I thought I would explore a place I haven't been to in several years, Tules Creek. About 7 O'clock, I put in at the North Fork Ramp and hardly got on plane before I was there. It was cloudy early but I still stayed on what would be the shaded side of the creek. Fished several places with several different lure. Caught three that were between two and three pounds and three more that put together wouldn't come up to a pound. A lot of fun anyhow. Each was caught in a different place and on either a jig or a 10" worm--nothing on a crankbait, spinnerbaiit, buzzbait, etc. They apperently wanted something big and slow moving.

By 11 O'clock the sky had cleared and the sun was coming straight down, so me and my Ol' Buddy put the boat on the trailer, went home and took a nap. This retirement is hard work but I'll just keep at it.
