The reason why I visited OSHINO this morning again

One was that I would like to check these foam floating nymph's effect.

Second one was that I saw huge brown trout at this hole yesterday.

4:04 1st cookie cutter sized bow.

Some rises got started very sporadically around 4AM.

4:07 2nd one after very short interval.

One of the merits of the foam fly.

No dry power was needed.

4:11 3rd one after four minutes later.

4:27 4th one after struggling a little at the upper riffle.

At the riffle, some fishes ignored my fly completely.

And I hooked one good fish though, couldn't catch it there.

After above, I could meet the 4th one at the original hole.

4:32 Set a hook to the good fighter!

But he was hooked off after he pulled my fly line a lot...

I should fight slowly and patiently...

4:37 Last one as 5th fish today.

Learned lots of things this morning also.

Got back home past 8AM.

Start of Lance's Sunday as their dad.

Waiting the rise in the dark

3:39 Got ready, 

a kind of little early and funny the man waiting the rise in the dark.

Rises got started past 4 AM, a little bit later than last week.

Maybe KUROMADARA's hatch will be the end soon.

4:09 1st one, nasty pic just as a record...

4:13 added this beauty as the 2nd one.

Good pace, Lance. Bigger #16 crippled dun worked well so far.

4:20 Got the good 37 bow was the 3rd. He fought so strongly.

Rises were continued till approximately 4:40.

I should add the next one though, some line troubles made it difficult...

And #16 sized crippled dun was refused many times.

Should take the countermeasure for it, Lance.

A firefly was still seen there in OSHINO.

I thought it was the baetis first time though,

it had three tails according to this pic.

It might be KUSHIGEMADARA.

Left there 6:20 and got home about 7:30.

Bigger and more voljuminous

Considering its floating performance and visibility,

 I would like to modify 'Crow' MADARA pattern.

From #18 to #16, and lager amount of deer hair.

Looking forward to next trial for KUROMADARA!

MADAMADARA

Picked Tommy and left his home 2:30AM.

Got ready for fishing just before 4AM. 

It was the best time scheduling, Lance.

4:08 First one by the 'Crow' MADARA crippled dun.

Likely KUROMADARA kept hatching even in July.

4:17 2nd one, only one shot just for saving time.

Tommy seemed to have a fun time also.

Very nice tug!

It took a long time to land 

and heard the reel sound after long interval.

4:30 Very nice 3rd one.

We had rain around 3AM this morning,

and it was lucky that it stopped after 3:30 as the weather forecast reported.

4:40 4th one was very tiny bow.

It proved that the rainbow trout was reproducing.

Very blurred pic...

There were many midges seen around the bridge. But rise was a kind of spotty.

I have to find it out when its hatch will end...

Back to home at 8:30.

And you should have taken the insecticide to protect your skin, Lance.

Cherry Picking

Weather forecast said we'll have heavy rain in the morning today,

but it was not so heavy one, a kind of drizzle.

After about two hours drive from my parents' home,

we arrived this farm at 11:17.

As you can see, it is available owing to its roof even if it rains.

Checked the new macro lens performance.

I think I need to get used to it more though,

it works so far so good! 

Should be called 'Red Jewel'.

And tasted so nice.

She likely had good time.

Cousins each other.

They are now students. Time flies...

New sprout.

HANAEWASABI SOBA, a kind of so-so.

Took two hours to my home also.

Ending of the busy weekend.

'Crow' MADARA

Let's use this crow's feather for the KUROMADARA fly's body.

Hair winged dun.

Crippled dun.

Looking forward to next trip.
