Catch Up with Tigers


Man, I'm falling behind on my blog. Oh well, I haven't been fishing much lately anyway, as my fly boxes have been crying out to me to re-fill them and I've put my time in at the vise.

Be that as it may, I'll harken back to a chilly November morning heading up to Dead Man's Lake to go after some big Tigers. Early on, the fish were in shallow and a few were rolling. The lake was getting close to icing over so we knew it might be a mixed bag as to whether we'd get into them much.

Before El Cheecho got his line in the water, I'd hooked into this little feller on my 2nd cast. Nice 22 inch fish. The rest of the day was somewhat slower, as we stalked fish we could see roaming the shallows and tried to hunt them down. We wrapped up the day throwing some nymphs on the Middle and got into a few more fish as well. All in all, not a bad day...
