Broke the Curse


Its been a rough couple of days here in Reno as far as fishing goes.  I have gotten a big goose egg the last three times I hit the river.  Its one thing to be getting skunked on cold miserable days, but it was perfect conditions for fishing over the last week.  Anyway, today I decided I needed a break from the Truckee went over to the West Walker for a change of scenery.  The water was low and it was sight fishing 101, only thing was that the fish kept spooking because I am clumsy and a bad sight fisher.  Anyway, this big guy didn't spook when he saw me, but rather just hunkered down on the bottom.  It took me a few casts to get the right drift but when I got it right he opened up his mouth and sucked a midge down like hed been waiting for it.  Caught the a few browns on a stonefly too.
