The trout on the Guad are rejoicing today. As for the rest of us, we’ll see you go with a mixture of sadness and joy. Sadness that you won’t be plying our waters regularly, seemingly always with a fish at the end of your leader and generous advice on your tongue; joy that you will be close to some of the best fly fishing in the world.
Many people don’t know this, but JC (or John, as I prefer to call him) is a member of the USA Masters fly fishing team and will represent our country at the world championships in Spain late September and early October. He will also be competing in numerous Fly Fishing Team USA comps this year. You do us proud, John. We’ll miss you.

I caught a snail yesterday. It put up a good fight but was safely released.

You didn’t specify how you like to fish, so the following is what I would do. I would fish an Eggstacy Egg (with a bead) on point and a smaller fly, something like a beadhead Walt’s Worm, on a tag about 20″ above the egg. This setup can be fished with a sighter or a bobber.

I’ve been out several times recently, and my experience, as well as that of other anglers I’ve talked to, is that the fishing is fine.
Alex
This is extremely interesting information, Bill. It would get much more attention if it were on the lease members’ forum.
Alex
Yes, I was there two days ago and the code worked. There were lots of other anglers there during the day, and they opened and closed the locks seemingly without an issue. Are you sure you’re trying the correct lock?
Alex
I’ll be carrying some buckets.
And, Dean, as Jimbo said in his post, this is the last stocking of the season.
Alex
Sorry, I should have been more explicit. 4490 gets you in, but warns the fish so you will not catch any. 1976 has the opposite effect, guaranteeing that you will catch many fish, and large ones.
Alex
I didn’t know. Thanks.
I saw the same two fisherman leaving #5 and walking to Rio yesterday. If the landowner cares about such things, perhaps she can be informed so she can decide what to do.
Alex
I’ll be there.

I’ve witnessed a different, but similar issue. Several times this year, I’ve seen anglers walking up from the river, past the #5 parking area, up the road, and turning left at River Road, presumably to walk to Rio where they were parked. I looked to see if they had LAP tags, but I didn’t notice any, nor would it have beenlikely, since LAP members could have parked at our spot. They didn’t look worried when they saw me, suggesting that they didn’t know they were trespassing. Or maybe they were just confident that they wouldn’t get reported.

I love cypress leaves because they help me improve my casting accuracy.
