A buddy of mine, forum member "bhrt",wanted to go looking for some specks on Saturday. We settled on my personal favorite speck stream while in route and had a pretty good day. I had a wedding to get back to so we couldn't stay as late as I'd like to have. My tandem de jour was a Tennessee Wulff and a green weiner.

First (and smallest) fish of the day.

Hungry like the Wulff.

Despite the cool weather the trillium were out.

I was able to get out Friday, but the clouds never broke, and it never really warmed up so fishing was slow. I knew it would be perfect this last weekend and glad you made the best of it.

Is it wrong to be at your twin 2 year old's birthday party, and to wish that you were on the river:confused:

I really like the First dry Brookie:biggrin:

I'll be chasing them on Wedneswday

It was a perfect day, aside from a little bit of wind.

What I didn't realize was as GM77 and I were enjoying the park, my pregnant wife was dodging falling trees back home! :eek:

So with all the concern about bears, flash floods and rabid otters, sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do is stay home!

Jason great photos nice specks!....was that a bead head on that green weenie I seen? I'm assuming you tied a few of those and they worked well?

I had never tied or fished a bh weenie. I don't enjoy wrapping the wire so I went the lazy route and liked the results.
