Still Fishing

Clearly the fishing reports have been a bit scarce this summer.  That's largely due to the fact that the fishing has been less frequent than hoped.  Its time to get back at it before our summer is completely gone!Yesterday I headed to one of my two spots just down the road.  The goal was to get in some practice with my switch rod.  It has been sitting dormant for the better part of a year and I wasn't too good even then so I figure it is time to give it a workout.Despite all the rain we have had this summer, the river is in pretty good shape and quite wadeable.   This was my first time at this particular spot this year.  I find it interesting how much the river bottom changes from one year to the next.  Places I couldn't get to in the past were quite accessible this year.After a bit of fumbling around with the switch rod, the casts started to feel more or less coordinated.   Casting practice was the main objective but it was nice that a few fish cooperated.  This one took an interest in my crayfish imitation. There weren't a lot of fish but enough to keep it interesting.  Still a lot of kinks to work out with the casting but it was good to get out.
