I enjoyed another day on the stream with my lovely daughter. We have been fishin buddies since she was old enough to stuff into a backpack. We tried to find some open water on Spring Creek but it was very difficult. Found two other local RBF Pro Staffers at the McCoy Dam. Those guys are like fly crap. While we were getting rigged up, Katie said that the fishing would be marginal today because the water was dropping after yesterday's rain. She's knows things.
There were a multitude of caddis on this bright sunny day. We decided to swing some wets in the new run created by the dam removal. Nothing, not a nibble.
We moved downstream hoping for some dry fly action. Katie tried to pound them up with a Caddis and a Beadhead just like her dad. She missed a couple. I bet you guys wish that you could throw a tight loop like Katie. She's a natural. Casting and line control came easy for her. Katie also ties flies and has been tying my RBF AP Emergers.
After a fishless few hours we enjoyed a good Catalan Shore Lunch. Catalan toast, roasted artichoke hearts, anchovies, olives, sheep cheese and some fine Muscato wine.

Sorry I missed ya chief. I worked my way upstream and managed a couple on a caddis emerger. Katie knows her stuff, it was a tough day, but it beats sitting at home.
At least you had time for a good shore lunch.
Best post of the year!
The white hunter's heart is good.
Chief:
It was a pleasure to meet your daughter. What an exceptional way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Sunday was one of those days where you were glad to be alive - nothing like those first few days of spring time weather, and warm sunshine.
Nice post and a great way to spend the day.
About the turtles....I see no one commented on that, and frankly, I'm not sure what to say about that either....
Looks like a top notch day any way ya wanna cut it.:-)
