Today I took the opportunity to go fish around dripping springs with my buddy Chris, who also guides for Jamie Rouse Fly Fishing Adventures. We didn't get started until after noon, but it was perfect. We saw two other boats as we launched but didn't see any more the rest of the afternoon. We had the water completely to ourselves. The skies were just an aquamarine blue and a nice cool breeze. We also had the Ipod Jam Station out and got down to some Yonder Mountain String Band and Grateful Dead. It was a true River Jam. The water was still a little high for throwing big streamers, but it was nice. It was better than the full unit the Corp has been blasting for the past week, so Chris and I took turns throwing and rowing, which is always nice. I farmed the first nice brown while messing around with my line. It got slow for a minute until the Yonder song "River" came on. It put the voodoo on' em then. We just traded licks all afternoon. No Monsters were caught, but definitely some awesome Arkansas tail water brown trout and some nice bows. We do have the best brown trout fishing in the United States, so it truly was another day in paradise. There was an amazing amount of insect activity going on in the air. May flies the size of a quarter and plenty of Caddis flying around. If we could get some low water the dry fly fishing would be stellar.
