You guys were right on! I am not a religious man, but the stars aligned for me on Monday afternoon when I landed a 21" Brown in one of my favorite ponds, and yes, in my newly framed Hornbeck. I'll post some pictures soon. I also caught a 14" Brown. The whopper came first, though. Not a bad start to the year after all!

Great .That is just perfect. Everybody will sure be glad for you. A Lake Clear as you said before? Worms or flies?"The way I see it, you're hooked.Trout have you. Another soul lost." Elias Wonder, The Earth is Enough by Harry Middleton -
Instant Karma.
Man... that was fast!
My friends like to say, 'Never trust a white man driving a Black Van', he's just savin' all his voodoo for you'. Then we laugh. Works for me. I think it might even be a good luck charm... or an evil-spirit-warder-awayer...
Anyhow, all fishermen/women are either superstitious, spiritual, or religious.
I like to drive a black van and go fishing.
Congrats GG! Good for you for gettin' right back on the horse! Can't wait to see the photos!
Your vessel is now blessed.Comment

Hornbeck-berger?
GG, i just picked up some Gray Ghosts today, for a pond trip on friday.
(How deep were you fishing?)
...Dragonflies, and other nasties too. Wicked nice bead-chain tandem-bodied leeches. Tiny soft-hackles just in case...Comment

GG.
I told you there are FishGods looking down upon all thoughtful fishermen/gals.I am so glad you hit those beauties after such a nightmarish start.I admire your fishing faithfulness.As Sero said"you got right back up on the horse".Congratulations and I hope your year continues on the same note.I think your canoe is going to feel alot like a good ol` buddy from now on!And of course your new truck.Enjoy the memories!!!21" brown ....wowsa....
I think we should start another thread about how we all either got started flyfishing or how we got bitten by the fly bug.Whatta y`all think?My brother Marzrw has all to do w/my conversion.Story later.

Ken-
Those are big nasties, right?
That's what you caught those NICE fish on...?
How did you fish 'em?
I've got a couple more days to bulk up...
Did you see any insects when you were out?Comment

I don't know if they are big...maybe a 1/2"...I fished them on bottom...trolling slow.
There were some bugs hatching...no idea what they were...Comment

Monday- Landed the 21" Brown I already reported, plus a 14" Brown.
Tuesday-Skunked. Spent more time fighting with tackle.
Friday-I landed a 15" Brown, and my cousin landed a 21" Brown! It looked like a clone of the fish I caught on Monday. Another friend landed a 19" Brown--hooked jaw and all.
Sunday-Very windy, though I managed to land a 13" Brookie. Wind blew my Hornbeck around pretty good.
Pics will be posted soon. I can't post some of them because the backdrop may give away the location! Hopefully more success to come. -GGComment

GG,
Your starting to heat up now.The methods you guys are using in the ponds are working.You can share alittle if you like?I have`nt been into a pond yet this year.Probably won`t for a few more weeks or so.Good job and keep it up.
