Because I work for the State of Nevada, I get to take one furlough a month, or a day without pay to those not fluent in human resources speak. Anyway, I am taking the furlough this Friday and I also get the MLK holiday on Monday. By my calcs, that’s a four day weekend. So, I am going to go fishing.
Friday is Pyramid. I have a streak going back to December 2008 of not getting skunked, but not catching more than one Lahontan cutthroat trout either. On the bright side they have all been decent fish, maybe 18 to 22 inches. I hope to break that streak…and not get skunked. Since I’m looking for numbers, it sounds like the south end is the ticket as the north end is slower, but giving up the bigger fish.
Monday I want to go to Topaz and take the boys. That means I need to get all the remaining snow and ice out of the boat and makes sure the motor fires without having to clean the carb. If it doesn’t fire and I don’t have the energy to clean the carb, the we will float tube. Well, the boys will float tube. I will sit high and dry in the pontoon. Ahh… the joys of having an income. The fish are in shallow according the reports, so we shouldn’t have to get out too far. I may try fly rodding it, but I will have the spinning rod for back up.
Expect the first new reports on the blog this weekend or early next week. If I remember to bring the camera, you might get some pictures too.
