Another early morning fishing

[worldtalker]

Another nice sunrise.

Water is starting to go down exposing more bank to fish from,a lot of people fish here,so far they keep it clean since I got on them last year about the trash.

Somebody did leave a cheap fishing rod stuck in a stump,not the right thing to use for these drag strippers,as they found out.

I watched this duck,same one that always comes around walk up the bank to my left and circled back behind me in the weeds.

Chimney Swifts love when there's a mayfly hatch,they do some crazy acrobatics.

I did land one.

GOD Bless America ONCE again

Very beautiful scenery. I used to catch carp when I was after Channel cats. I never kept them.

I always catch and release,but Russians and Nepalese will take everyone I catch.

As far as I know a mayfly is a mayfly.

As far as I know a mayfly is a mayfly.

The Green Drake is one of the largest of the mayflies and has a large distribution.We have them and a smaller gray one,I don,t know it,s name. That,s most likely a Green Drake since they prefer mud bottoms over gravel or rock in the nymph form. Studied them a bit in my fly tying and fishing hobby.

There surely is mud around there,I've walked it enough to know where to step and where NOT to step,dragonflies will be coming out soon,did you know they have a 95% kill rate?
