crappy weather



Well lately the weather around here in cali has been very crappy. 60+mph winds, and 6+ inches of rain since friday. I guess we did need the rain but holy crap this is a lot of rain!
Anyway, I did go fishing on friday, In the rain. It was difficult because they have not planted the lake in a while, and one of the new workers keeps feeding the fish every day! Maybe if they had just planted fish it would be ok if he kept feeding them but this is frickin ridiculous. All the fish in the lake are stuffed to the gills( pun intended) and they are not readily taking flies to much.  I still did alright though. I took the new TFO 3wt and caught 2 on black buggers and brown buggers. 
On thursday though I did much better. I had once again taken out the TFO 3wt. I caught 8 fish that day. seven of them were on a black copper john and 1 other was on a peacock woolly bugger.  I was fishing the black copper john with a bobber( strike indicator) and was catching fish literally 10ft from the shore and nice fish to!
Maybe tomorrow if the wind and rain is not to bad, I will try to go fishing.  Am I crazy??............Probably! 
Until this rain clears and I have been stuck inside, I have been tying flies and organizing my fly gear.
