After work i hooked up with jon. my hopes weren't very high that we'd have a place on the river to fish since as we drove all we saw was muddy waters. once we got above the apparent source we found an access point with nobody on it. the fishing was pretty good for myself but jon did not fair so well. he finally did get off the snide though. most of the fish landed were 17-18 inches but i did manage one that was 21". i did not see this fish take cause as my fly had finished it's swing and was sitting in about 6" of water i turned to talk to jon and the big female nailed my streamer. after we finished that section of river we drove down a bit lower and fished new water to both of us and it totally sucked. that's the way it goes sometimes.
retired from the air force april 1st 2011 after 22yrs and 1 month. am no longer contracting in saudi arabia. now just looking for work and fishing as much as i can until then.

I thought for sure that the title of this post would have been "payback's a bitch." That's what it felt like anyways....
