I haven't done one of these in a while now so I thought I would do one today. I went out on the Beaverhead at Pipe Organ FAS. I already had my nymph set up on my 5wt so I got it out and went to casting my two fly set up around. Well today the wind was blowing at a good clip out of the South, which was at my back. It played hob with my casting and I ended up with a nice birds nest. I was using a pink SJW and a pink emerger(this worked last year). No luck. I then tied up again but nothing doing in the fishing department.
I then put my 5wt away and pulled out my 6wt with the WB on it. I had to retie it up as my rods were together with the lanes tangled. In my hurry to thread the line I got my line wrapped around my rod and I had to cut my fly off and restring my rod. Stupid mistake. Got it all strung and tie on a Olive Zonker. Threw it out there and let it swing and began stripping it in. Had a good hit so I stripped it in a cast it out again. No love. So I reeled it in and found out my fly was gone. I trudged back to my truck and retired up another one. No love from that one. I gave up after that because the wind was blowing at a pretty good clip.
A useless report from the world's worst fly fisher.
