Another beautiful day on the Miramichi. The salmon are not showing as much this morning, however did pick up (3) grisle between 10:00 – 11:00 hr on a Shady Lady w/crystal flash. Rounded things off in the evening with a nice salmon, on a brand new Shady Lady, the other one went up river with a salmon, when will I learn to re tie a fly after playing several fish.
Any way the salmon was about a 7-8 lb hook bill, didn't even give much of a fight, he wasn't even the smartest fish I've met. After I got the fly out and went to release him I noticed the leader was wrapped around his lower jaw and he wouldn't open his mouth, so I had tucked the rod under my arm and was bent over trying to get everything untangled when a grisle came after the fly by my leg. That's not the fly I lost, that one went up river earlier in the evening with another salmon.
I played around with a bomber in the slow water and sure enough the trout are still there :)
Of (2 doz). Shady Ladies with crystal flash I tied in July, I have (2) left
We have a party of (2) in tomorrow and another (2) joining them the next day, will see how they make out.
