I took my fly rod up muzzleloader hunting. I have seen fish in a small creek and beaver ponds for several years and remembered to throw in my rod. I spent a lot of years in my youth with a fly rod in my hand and it was good to see that I haven't lost the touch. I could still hit my aiming spots even after many years of not touching it.
The fish were very wary but I still got a couple of takers. My biggest surprise was when I set the hook on one with some shoulders that took me into the willows and snapped me off. I would have loved to see that fish.
The hunting sucked so I took a recon drive this morning over to Woodruff and Birch Creek. I attached some pictures. There were a few people fishing Burch Creek, but no one at Woodruff. Quite a few fish rising at Woodruff, but I didn't give it a try. I only had my fly rod and the fish were out in the middle.
