The Beautiful Hiwassee River

[Randall53]

My fishing buddy and I had a great day today. Great conversation and great company. The peanut butter N crackers washed down with ice cold Coke was delicious. The weather was perfect. The Hiwassee River was clear and cold. The crowd did not show up and I only saw 6 folks out fishing. A light breeze kept us cool when the sun got high. I did not loose one Rooster Tail all day. My waders didn’t leak and I didn’t fall in . We got a late start and didn’t get on the river until 9:30. The fish quit biting at 9 so we didn’t catch a thing......BUT......My fishing buddy and I had a great day today. 

Lesson learned: It ain’t always about the fish!!

Rooster tails is one of my all time favorite lures.

Any day you come back with all of your gear counts for something. Nice day out there today.

That’s about all I use unless I tie a fly on behind a small clear float. Like right now the Caddis hatch is on and a Caddis fly is doing good. The float lets me use my ultralight open face and still float a fly down the river.  But, most Caddis flies are black and an a black Rooster Tail seems to work good too, just not today! LOL!
