Helping her handicraft

It was a kind of tough work to saw and polish 64 pieces...

Good painting, sugar.

To be continued.

Precious two lucks in the early morning

Theme of this morning was casting preciousness and drifting fly naturally. 7'6'' #3 made it much easier than 6'3'' #2 rod.

6:30 First one from the deep hole under the white bubbles.

7:00 Last one at the last hole by super preciousness and natural drift. Very satisfied with its process by myself.

Money Planning

It has been my action item to make long term financial plan for a long time. And eventually could build a draft one. Still need to make some modification and add some items though, realized that it is important to understand the ballpark figure. Keep checking it, Lance.

Likely

I should skip weekly early morning fishing today. Applied the temporary 16 days free program of WOWOW this morning. Looking forward to watching Kei's big match soon!

For the casting skill up

I decided to use two different stiffness fly rods(#3 7'6'' Carbon, #2 6'3'' Glass) alternately for the early morning fishing. When I arrived the river D, it rained a lot(6:05). So I waited for a while in the car.

Since the rain got weak, I went out of the car and made preparation for fishing. But when I saw the river, I got a kind of frozen... Very muddy colored water... Had to change my plan to plan B, headed for the river E. Because of the existence of the earlier bait fisherman at the upper section, I got started fishing at the downstream. Must be first time to fish there.

 Used #3 7'6'' Carbon rod after a long interval, and felt that it was much stiffer than #2 6'3'' Glassrod. Did some adjustment for the tippet length longer to fit the rod length. #14 EHC was attractive though, looked like a little big for the current situation. Some fishes went up to the fly on surface though, they didn't take it. So changed it to smaller pattern, #16 peacock parachute. And it did work well.

7:29 Caught first baby.

And added several same sized one.

7:58 Last fish was better and longer than earlier ones.

Saw many SAWAGANI around the road on the way to my car. By the way, it got already September, Lance. Are you ready for the ending of this season?

Since it was broken after over 10 years

I noticed that its sole was broken after the last bike fishing trip. I don't know when I bought it exactly though, it was definitely over 10 years ago. 

Removed the SPD attachment and cleaned it carefully with the oil. And attach it to the new shoes. Need to check its performance soon.

Only one luck was not bad in the early morning

6:00-7:30 at the river B. #14 black EHC only. Water showed a little high level after rain. Got several small strikes, one good one's reaction, and...

this golden one. Felt it was enough to go back home.
