Green Lake
I was going to head up to Salmon Creek to wet a line, but after getting a call from my TU VP Gary he wanted to go over to Ferry County and fish Long Lake on Sunday. So i went out and put all my stuff together to hit the lake.
8/9 11am water temp 76 air temp 84       2:30  air temp 94 smokie
So I hit the south end of Big Green, Had the whole south end to myself. with the soft hackles tyed up in #14 Peacock and Partridge  and my bamboo 2 weight I had a blast for more than 3 hours every cast my rod got bent.nothing bigger than 6 inches and lots of 3-4 incher but O what fun.
By 2 pm the smoke was heavy and i pulled out with a big smile on my face. No I don't have to catch BIG fish just fish.

Picked up Gary at 9am and made the 75 mile trip over Waconda Pass and thru. Republic WA in no time. We were set up and fishing by
 10:30 am water 66 air temp  76           5:30 a. temp 84 smokie
 For my first cast I had on a #16 Calibaetis  dry and got the first cuttie of the day a 13"  I had almost forgot what it was like to use lite rigs the #3 Sage  loaded up with the SA Sharkwave the line is so eazy to get out there 45 -60 feet with no effort..
Gary is a troller and love to use his ZugBug and he does very well with it. He was picking up 5 to my 1 fishing deep while I stayed up casting dries.By the time we got to the far end of the lake Gary 20, me 4. I then switch out and put on a Punkin head  on my intermediate line and with a slow strip Boom my turn to catch up on the fish count. By the end of the day our counts we could not remember. I did go back to fishin dries and hooked a few. Another Great day!!!!!! FISH ON  and TIGHT LINES
