August =Tough
The Dog Days of Summer are finally here. Shortened days, stagnate winds, and Air that you can Wear all contribute to this transitional time of year. Fall is just around the corner but the winds of change in TN are still at least a month away. Over the weekend we kept the oldest grand baby so no fishing was done. We visited a co-workers hobby farm and she was able to pet and hold a menagerie of critters.
Making memories we will not soon forget.
Back to work on Monday and I was able to sneak out a little early for a quick afternoon trip. Our lakes are about 5-8ft higher this year than last year due to a 4.5in surplus of rainfall to date. I will take this bonus water as my deep fish remain hungry. The bite was very light, the old swing-and-a-miss idiom characterized my outing. I found myself dipping the jig in the G sauce many more times than usual to help persuade these finicky fish. I did catch some and snapped a few ET Fish shots.
Nothing of big size, 10 to 12in, with one monster broke off at the boat. Nanofil just does not have the abrasion resistance that I would like but it has become my everyday line.
That bottom fish had a weird looking Bulging Google Eye when I caught him.
Keep after them, even when it gets tough. They still have to eat!

'Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
The blind see and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed and deaf hear; dead are raised up and poor have the gospel preached to them.

You’ve definitely made good use of these ol dog days! I especially like the pictures of the beautiful granddaughter. We just returned from a trip to Glacier National Park. I thought this would be a refreshingly cool August escape. Wrong! We saw temps in excess of 100 degrees! As they say, it’s a dry heat! Tons of beautiful sights and pictures. I did try my hand at fly fishing a remote lake for some Cutthroat Trout!

Nanofil will not fit everyones style.
Has a learning curve.The right size line to the right size reel and the Right Rod.We have found 8-9 ft lite to med lite rods work best.Our Two Pennies.

Good story, pretty girl. I think my daughter would love to go somewhere and pet animals like that.
