They Killed Kenny !!!!!

           Hello friends and thanks for checking in at the O’Grady Fly Fishing Adventures. Well I would love tell you that reading this blog would either have you on the edge of your seat or spitting your coffee on your screen but I hate to say, it may be a little straight forward, just another trip to South Park. After writing last weeks blog, Cat and I had been itching to get back up to Spinney. The last two years, we had fished it on May 16^th and those were the two most spectacular fishing days we had ever seen. With the extra cold winter, we knew that everything up there would be a little behind schedule but we just wanted to get out on our pontoon boats and really weren’t expecting much.

            We got on the water just after 8:00 and scurried over to one of our favorite spots. We were marking fish but they didn’t seem to want to eat. We moved a little here and there and after about 9:00, I got my first fish. He was only about 17 inches but I was on the board. We caught fish off and on all day, and I finished the day with four conclusions. First, Outcast makes a killer pontoon boat and I absolutely love fishing out of ours. Second, the El Jefe Fishpond net is the perfect size for Spinney. Third, the Sage X in a 10 foot 6 wt is perfect for Spinney. And last, even though Cat has really toughened me up over the years, I still don’t like the idea of touching Pike.

            Spinney was better than expected but less than we had hoped. I ended the day with 21 trout and 3 pike and had at least a dozen more that were either lost or missed. The chironomids were just beginning to hatch and I am guessing the next three weeks, Spinney should be absolutely on fire. The Drift Fly Shop is continuing to run the same special. Purchase an Outcast/Fishcat pontoon boat or a 9’6”/10’ Sage X 6wt and get a free sit down with either Cat or I and we will go over everything to get you ready to go catch fish: rigging, safety, accessories, fly selection and how to attack lakes. Just a few pics from today. As always, Connell, Cat, Winston, Kenny McCormick, and the Drift Fly Shop want to thank you for reading…….
