fly fishing hawaii:

better nate than lever.

 

here's a blog from friday sept. 3rd.  had some shall we say "compuproblems".  anyway here's how the blog went down if anyone still cares.

 

went up to the lake yesterday (last week thursday) on a little “see what’s what” reconnaissance mission. joining me was our shimano/loomis rep, garret.  the water level is still going down but has quite a bit more to go before hitting sketchy boat launching levels.  the fishing was good.  the baby bass run has subsided considerably and red devils are a little tough to get on, but the peacocks are still out in force.  the spawning seems to wrapping up.  we found a number still on nests but not nearly as many as in previous weeks.    we also found a few pairs of tucs guarding fry another sign that perhaps the spawn may be concluding.  lots of schooling peacocks including some of decent size.  not much busting although we did see some which is always a good sign of things to come.  they may have busted more in the morning or the evening but we didn’t fish that.  the morning bite was too early and the UH game was on in the evening. so we just pounded through the mid day lull.  we caught a couple of peacocks on top but for the most part had to go deep to get where they were hanging.

 

as far as the title goes (for those not in the know), it's from some stupid joke about a snake that everyone liked named nate and some kind of lever on the side of the road that if pulled would end the world or something.  anyway there's some guy driving down the road that loses control of his truck and has to decide between running over the snake or hitting the lever.  well he decides to run over the snake because... we'll you know.

 

that (sadly) is pretty much the jist of it for now, see you on the water.

garret jigged up this peacock with shimano's latest and greatest.  there are still a bunch of peacocks sporting their summer colors.

 

little schoolie "eater".

 

other peacocks are starting to school and show their fall colors.  i apologize for the lateness of this blog but what can i say, sometimes like that.  go ducks and, as always, good times.
