Kay Outfishes Me, Again

TIME: 12:00 Noon TO 2:30 PM
WEATHER: PC, Low to high 80s
WATER CONDITIONS: 0 units, high and turbid from 3-inch rain
LOCATIONS FISHED: 1st Island above Ackerman/Handicap Access
FLIES USED: #8 Gray Wooly Bugger (with orange tail), #14 Olive Mini-T Bugger
HATCHES: None
OTHER: Fished with Kay. Once again, she outfished me; second time in a row. Water was very turbid with no visibility whatsoever. We cast quartering downstream, and stripping back. Kay caught about 10 fish to my 8, but we missed plenty, and she broke off 5. Interestingly, when she broke off, examination showed the tippet with a clean broke above the hook, and much resembled what we’re used to when a pike takes a fly and cuts the tippet—maybe a gar. We did see a gar in the vicinity only 4 days prior.
