Dick Dragiewicz and I fished the Driftless Area th

by LenH on 09/01/2009

Sure hope there are trout
streams in heaven
Dick was using a new fly he invented. It is a size 6 hook with lots of silver tinsel on it tied fully. Dick put a small split shot 10 inches up and dredges current lines. Right after I took this photo Dick caught his first trout of the day.


second trout of the day
Dick called his fly he tied a Mepps Spinner. It actually was a fly. Dick told me his friends dissed him and told him he would never catch anything on that monstrosity. Dick proved them wrong tonight.


3rd trout of the day for
Dick
Dick looked for current lines that stepped down or places where 2 current lines intersected. It seemed to be the ticket today for Dick.


one of 15 caught
I landed more trout than dick and was a little ahead of him most times because I was throwing a panther martin spinner.

Way to go Dick, its more than doubly satisfying to catch a fish on a fly you invented. When I was in fifth grade I tied a funny looking fly and almost 40 years later I still remember the crappie I caught on it.

Nice report Len! With the cooler temperatures this summer have you seen an increased bite compared to more hotter summers? I usually fish trout in April and May and then quit until September. Looks like I might have missed a good bite this summer.

the average temps in the area are down. stream temps have not gotten over 66 and now they are in low 60s and upper 50s on spring creeks. this season is a fluke.

my decent trout from outing

My huge hands always dwarf the fish and then you have to look at my ugly mug and it always distracts people.
