A windy Watauga day

Those are monsters! I would like to try the float and fly method. I need a longer rod.

Yea, he does catch some hawgs on the flies. He has official Float-N-Fly rods that I think are about 10 feet long and an adventure to learn to cast but once you have it down it's easy. I guess I might have about 40 pictures of him with huge Spots and Small mouths from Dale Hollow. He is watching the water temps but he won't fish till they get in the upper 40's or very low 50's.

Yeah, he is going to have to wait a little longer with all the warm weather. Does he has a site to check out?

Nope on the site, He is just a good friend of mine that use to have a Fishing Guide Service as did I we both but quite doing it about 10 years ago. Got to much like work. I did one trip with a Client but it paid to good to pass up. About 2011 I had a lady Pro angler contact me about guiding her on Old Hickory Lake for a week as she had a tournament coming up in a month here. I accepted the trip and learned one thing after it was all over. Some women just can't listen and comprehend what they are taught. I spent a week putting her on a pattern that would win here the tournament. She made the cut to the 2nd day and was leading on first day. Do you think she would run that same pattern 2 days in a row like I told her to? Of course not!!! She got talking with other angler friends at supper that night and next day changed her pattern and caught one small fish and dropped from 1st to 14th over all. I was on the water the second day to watch her and when she didn't show up at the first spot she should have I knew she messed up. At the weigh in she told me what she did and that she messed up big time but would learn from it.

Below is the type of fish I had her on for the winning pattern.

She did learn by her mistake here and went to Red River in Louisiana and led the tournament wire to wire and won it.

 

She still orders baits from me.
