Saturday after therapy on my bum knee, I met up with Casey.
Casey is new to the area, but anyway last week while we were talking he asked
me if I knew anybody that was into Spey casting around here. Why yes I knew a
few. I really want to learn how to do it, but I don’t have a rod or any of the
set up. I just happen to have everything that you need to get going. Echo DH
1338 only used a couple times that I’ll let go along with everything else.
My reel was a bit expense for him. So he passed on it but I
looked into getting everything that he would need. Reel, backing, shooting
line, heads and tips and ordered it up for him.
Using my reel I took him to Omak Lake where I could give him
his first lesson, the kid did great. We
spent about three hours until the wind picked up blowing cold north wind. We
bagged it in ,but I lent him one of my reels all set up, a pair of waders. (his
waders are in the mail). I’ll be seeing more of him in the future. He is
interested in learning to tye some flies, and wants to come to the next meeting
of the fly club.
Today I’m sure he is down at the lake getting some more
practice in.
Today I had plans to take Richard (84years old) up to Hess
Lake to catch him some dinner. Picked him up at 10. Hess Lake about ¾ of the lake is now ice
free. On the north side so I had some open water.
I started out with a
# 16 blood under a indicator until it feel off. Then switched to a #16 prince
nymph and that was the ticket landing a couple of nice bows. We need to get
going at about noon the cool wind picking up and I knew that Richard would
never say anything about it, He had picked up my dog and they both sat in the
truck while I got in a few more casts.
When we left I had landed his dinner.
Quick note I heard that Gary got rid of the crud and hit the river in the high water and hooked himself a nice SH he was sorry to tell me it got loose by way of sunkin limb. At least he's bac to hitting the water.
