Would you go?

Postby Frank » March 27th, 2010, 9:25 am

OK anglers, here's my struggle. Work is busy, but I have a chance to fish the middle of next week. Weather is an issue, but I've little
experience with the area and fly in general.

Question - Would you fish the EW next Thursday, or go at a different time?

I would go whenever my life/wife would let me!
Fishing is the most wonderful thing I do in my life, barring some equally delightful unmentionables.

With the flows bouncing around it's a tough call. It needs about 24 hours of level flow before fishing turns on. When I was there last week, Rick said that irrigation water demands have started downstream, and it's tough to call the flow. If you go, let us know how it was.

Go! My worst day of fishing has always beat out my best days of work. Doesn't pay as good fishing though. ;)

GO ! any time that you can fish , do it. the times that conditions are tough can be when we learn the most.
besides, suppose the iranians or north koreans pop an EMP device over us and knock out all of our electronics. you know the first thing that you will think is " AHHH CRAP- I SHOULDA WENT FISHING WHEN I HAD A CHANCE ! ".

EW is fishing off the hook with streamers right now.

I would go if I was you.

I just cancelled my three days on the river with my best friend due to the high waters. Not that they're un-fishable, but because the levels keep changing and this puts the fish down until it settles. This time of year fishing an egg pattern or stripping streamers seems to be the keep. Dry flies are a little more if'y unless you can find some quiet top water. But you know what..... GO

If you have to ask advice on whether to GO Fishing then you're in trouble. Asking about whether fish will bite is one thing, but asking whether to GO is another......the point is.....GO. :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse:

You're asking a bunch of addicts if they would go fishing given the chance? Wait, is that a trick question?

Thanks for the comments, all! The truck is running, and of course, flows are up overnight. :shock:
