New Water- Savage River, North Branch of the Potomac

Sunday June 28th, 2009.
Left at 4:30am with Kevin and Don to head south to Maryland. about 30 mins past Deep Creek where Uncle Tom used to have a place. Packed up the night before and knew I was in for some lessons.


Sorry guys, you can't come...



Neither can you...Bright and Early on the Savage River
Might as well get in there and start swingin'

The 7x Stretch... Very few big holes, mostly pocket water. Not really my cup o' tea.



Fishing was hard, needed to sit and take pics once in a while

River Runs Through It- 2009





Fished from 730-130 had some lunch and a beer, packed the rods and headed to the next spot.





Off to the West Virginia/Maryland Boarder.


Barnum, MD, population 13.


John Denver's sort of place.

Decorations

Wild Rainbow on a white bugger in a deep fast stretch.



Back to the Savage River hoping to see an evening hatch
Not many fish rising, and when they did it was in NO particular pattern.

Heavy Midge hatch, few mayflies.


Sunset over the Savage River

Headed home late, fell asleep for a bit on the way home. Got back to Alabama Ave. at midnight.

13 hours of fishing. 1 fish. Tons of experience, definately want to get back soon.

Carpin and Bassin

went out carpin with cousin Bobby below Cannonsburg Lake a few sundays ago. Very hot, nothing hitting on the surface, nothing hitting low, NOTHING hitting. nadda, zip, zilch. Went out to Peter's Lake Park with Logan on my b-day. Fished the small pond for an hour. one small bass on copper shallow shad rap. moved to the big lake, landed half dozen small LM's on rubber worms. Nice little lake, will definately return. Next day, went to Cross Creek Lake with Dad and Uncle Ray on Fathers Day.


Are you sure I can't come??
I'll let them catch the little ones

And i'll get the bigger ones!

Happy Father's Day
