Bug and Cricket

Bug and Cricket

I took out the canoe and spent the morning working the edge of a local lake for bass and sunfish. I put on a fancy store bought cricket and immediately got a big hit. Unfortunately the fish was gone and so was the cricket (bad knot, sharp tooth?)
Tried of spending money I went to a Utah Killer Bug. Guess who took the bug?

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” - Benjamin Franklin

"Be sure in casting, that your fly fall first into the water, for if the line fall first, it scares or frightens the fish..." -
Col. Robert Venables 1662

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.


Warning:

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.
