I'm headed to Indiana. If the weather cooperates, I will have a nice fishing week. Will hit Turkey Run Park outside of Louisville either tomorrow evening or Sunday morning. On Monday, I hope to go to Turkey Run State Park in western Indiana. Yes they have the same name; it's a coincidence. I'll work in Indiana all week where I will have access to the White River. I don't yet have a plan for the following weekend. I'm taking a tent, so Daniel Boone National Forest will be on the table. If I am impressed by Turkey Run State Park, I may go back there. If you've got some opinions about theae areas and fishing, I would love to hear them.

Evening at the beach. If you look close, you can see my sibling fishing in the surf. We have not caught any fish in the saltwater.

The view from our cabin first thing this morning. Boiled water on a wood burning stove for tea.

The bass are still busy spawning and sitting on their nests, but I was able to land one last night. My hollow deceiver looks skinny out of the water, but it has volume under water where the fibers aren't under tension.

I got a lot of refusals at a different lake last night, but they were ready to roll at Stone Mountain tonight. I've been trying out a sort of heavy deer hair bug. Fishing with a Tenkara, I am holding the fly on the surface of the water. The "too long" hook allows me to give it a lot of motion on the surface.

Some health issues, including a few days in the hospital have kept me off the water so far this year. Very frustrating. I'm going to get ou there soon.

Took one of my old Fenwick rods out to the swamp last night. The water was stained. I had some strikes but never made solid contact with a fish.

No glorious colors, but I was on the Chattahoochee River at sunset. Got a new fly line in the mail, and I've been out scandi casting my two-handed rod. Only caught 2 fish in 4 trips to the hooch, but the weather has been nice.

I've been experimenting with deer hair caddis. Got a scandi line in the mail today, and I'm hoping to take one of these out skating tomorrow.

Whenever I feel even just a bit under the weather,like this morning, I do a COVID test if I’m going anywhere just to be safe. I rib myself, “There are other disease too you know.” Not this time. Hopefully as benign as my first time with it a couple years ago. #covid

I'm gonna try to put a turkey slip wing on it, but I have no idea what I'm doing.

I am excited about fishing on the Cheoah River this year. Despite multiple trips up to Nantahala National Forest and fishing on nearby creeks and rivers, I have not spent any time on the Cheoah River.

There is just a short stretch of un-impounded riverbed between Santeetlah Dam and Lake Calderwood, but that is a lot of river to explore on foot.

All of the adult fish that I caught this weekend were brook trout. They must be stocked because I've not seen them in this creek before. This is the stream that I got my new-to-me Tenkara Rod Company Kita, and it worked really well on this trip. I was fishing with size #12 and #14 unweighted wet flies.

I haven't tied flies in hand for a couple of months. I caught a juvenile spotted bass with one of these on the Ocmulgee River yesterday. It was the only fish that I caught, and I caught it before my first cast! The fly was drifting in the water while I was peeling line off of the reel.

The silk thread came from a lot of vintage silk on eBay.

Rottenwood Creek just outside of Atlanta. In the fall this substrate was totally choked with silt. I saw a lot of tiny sunfish and some juvenile bass.

I'm working on Gunnar Brammer's Chosen One streamer pattern. These hooks (Gamakatsu B10s #1/0) aren't quite big enough for the full fuzzy fiber head. If I drop down to a #1 or a #2, I can tie the same fly and leave the head off; I think they will make really nice deceivers without the bulky head.

This material is a kanekalon product called Easy Braid. It is way less expensive than the premium craft fur products marketed for tying streamers.

I use a mesophilic culture to make strained "mesoyogurt". I've switched to a new bug, and I am really liking how it turns out.
