Right after I made the thread last night asking about conditions on the New I noticed a cell on the radar around Laurel Springs that looked to be fairly strong. Not wanting to take my chances I decided to head to a different river and poke around a little.
After about 15-20 minutes on the water this morning I had a nice 13"er slam my slider. My first smallmouth on the fly rod, and a personal best (sad as that may be). This got my hopes up that maybe I'd have a banner day. Unfortunately I only landed one other smallmouth, along with a sunny, and a chub. The chub was the dangest thing. After I landed and released it, it hit my wooly bugger again on the very next cast. Unfornately I missed it. Don't know many folks that can say they've caught the very same fish on back-to-back casts.
All-in-all it was a good morning of river therapy. Looking forward to getting after them again.
