Metcalf Action

[Jermz]

Well, it was too tough to pass up this pre spring weather and since its been awhile since I've wet a line -I decided to shirk all responsibilities and/or obligations and make a quick jaunt to Metcalf Bottoms...I was on the water about 11:30 and the water was pretty cold...sort of felt like a tailwater set up - legs freezing but waist up was comfortable in short sleeves. Wish I had a thermometer to track the water temps...as the fishing started off slow. As expected though, the water warmed up and the fishing heated up...there was a flurry of activity and the fish were active for about an hour and several nice fish came to and. I was surprised about the brown which was easily over 12 and the the larger bow was just about 12...everything came on a midge emerger dropped off a PT of all things, though there was nothing coming off - just goes to show ya,no matter where you are - a winter and midges are like chips and dip...







anyhow, looking for ward to some bruisers at the frostbite...

Great photos! None of my waters up here in WI have bows so I always love to see photos of them.
