Catching numerous Browns, good conversation and lots of learning, beer and burgers, Dean generously giving away Poker Run Fishing Tourney hats he had printed up, etc…What’s not to like? Well, for those of you that slept in, or read that strange email that Joe sent last minute and did not come out to fish, you missed out!
We had 5 members (Dan, Jim, Dean, Andy and myself) come out in the drizzle on the C&R section in Glendale on the Housy yesterday. We call caught several Browns from 12" to high teens with different techniques on about 8 different patterns from bead head nymphs, emergers, crawlers, pupae, buggers, etc. The fish were feeding frequently and the takes were very subtle. We also missed several strikes. As the day went on, the weather got better with the sun breaking out and the fishing remained on consistently.
After a great pub lunch while still wearing waders at the bar with Angus burgers and beer at the Brick Alley Pub in the center of Housatonic right on the river, we went hunting for brown trophies in the fast water below the tressle. We all caught smallies and Dean also landed a large Carp on the fly that we were all hoping was one of the resident monster browns in that section. It was still very exciting.
Thanks for the good times, the learning of various techniques and especially for Dean (The Wild Wader) keeping a close watch on me, and really the whole group, while wading across the tough stretches of river.

The little bit of drizzle made for some great fishing. Jim we need just a little bit more noise out of you come June 2nd so we know you have one on 
a "Jimmy Houston" call would be nice and if you want to kiss the fish thats up to you. I will say catching that carp was the Icying on the cake. Jim can you bring the bigger net next time? I never got out of there until after 7 and the fish were starting to rise all over the water. and yes Josh I did leave a few. My only real ? is do any of these fish count for the Poker Run? I will say as long as the weather holds out the fishing should be great come June 2nd. Jim had a awesome fish pond pack so I ordered one when I got home. And city boy "Andrew" I hope you found your Eye 
"contact Lens" Thanks again for a great time oh yeah next time I will have a rope to get Josh back across the river. you should have seen the fear in his face..... LOL ;D
