fishing towards shore from the boat I wascatching large fish on a black wooly bugger. When I opened up the one rainbow that I kept to eat, it was full of black carpenter ants!! The fish were stacked up in the areas of the lake where small snow melt streams were feeding into the lake. The fish were picking off ants as they were washed into the lake. I guess the fish thought the black leach pattern I was using was a huge black ant. This year I'll be better prepared. I have actual black ant patterns tied and ready to go! Watch out trout here I come!!
Note in picture of fly tying vise and flies, the picture in the background of my daughters giving their sainted daddy a big smooch.
Tomorrow I leave for a visit with my brother Brad in Omaha. Hopefully, Spring will have arrived in Spokane when I get back on Wednesday. It's gotta warm up so I can go watch John Henry play baseball! - and go fishing, of course.
