Music to a Guides Ears.....

          Hello all and thanks for checking in at the O’Grady Fly Fishing Adventures Blog. Oh what a Spring we are experiencing; this has been the most enjoyable Spring that I can remember. Some of the days have been downright silly and some days have been technical but still awesome. Today’s trip is where the blog title comes from. Doug is a repeat client but his last two trips to the Ark have been in winter time and you know how well I like January, fish had been caught but it was Dead winter. We got into our first run at around 11:00 and just a few drifts in, it was on. Nearly every good cast and drift today produced a take. The big fish of the day was landed about an hour in when Doug wrestled a beautiful 20-and-a-half-inch toad to the net, and yes we have a new member of the 20-inch club, congrats my friend! The fun didn’t stop there, we spotted out another fish and the reward was a 19-inch brown. As we began making our way back to the car, we started cherry picking all of our best runs from the morning. We got into one run and Doug battled a tubby 16 incher to the net and after taking a quick pic. Doug looked up, handed me the rod and said, “why don’t you take a few casts, my arm is cramping up”. Yeah baby, music to a guide’s ears, worn out from catching fish.

          Once again, if you have considered taking a guide trip, call the shop and book now. The weather coming in this weekend could make for some incredible fishing. Fish were on FOD’s and Ninjas today. Pics are from today and Saturdays trips. As always Connell, Cat, Winston, Doug and the Drift fly shop want to thank you for reading…..
