Holy Thursday

Goose looking for risers

Chief and the Goose usually spend Holy Thursday fishing Big Fishing Creek, but this year we settled for another very productive day on Spring Creek. After a hearty shore lunch of Country Fried Chicken Breast, Honey Mustard Potato Salad and Feta Stuffed Olives, we began to torture those dumb trout. Theory has it that the trouts' brain capacity was seriously and permanently affected by Mirex exposure. Hence the ungodly effectivess of the RBF Mirex Ant, not be confused with the BRF Chernobyl Ant, but quite similar in design.

Best fish of the afternoon

Several dozen dumb trout fell for the #20 RBF Olive Sparkle Dun, not to be confused with the BRF Olive Sparkle Dun. We continued to locate pods of rising trout and bring them to hand. We moved a bit upstream as the afternoon moved on and found many more rising trout. But these bastards were fussy. They refused the #20 RBF Olive Sparkle Dun, well not totally.

Past experiences with this wonderful cabin fever buster hatch reminded the Chief that it was time for his #20 RBF Half 'n Half Olive. Trout love those numerous crippled duns and helpless spinners. RBF's contraption resembles a cripple dun and a not so crippled spinner. We continued to catch those dumb trout with the #20 RBF Half 'n Half until we got tired of catching fish.



The Chief decided to just sit and watch Goose work his magic on those dumb trout. Trouble was, the Chief sat down right on his famous RBF Cedar Landing Net renderin it down to splinters. It will go back in the woodshop later for repairs.

It's that time of year when the Chief usually gets flogged by a gander and latter has a plump goose on the smoker. Don't know where he was this time. His mate just calmly sat on the nest as the Chief stumbled on by.
