SweetWater Brewery Fly Fishing

                   

Had a sweet time fishing the Chagrin River with SweetWater Brewing http://sweetwaterbrew.com/# guys. It was actually my very first time getting my feet wet in that river. The bottom terrain was unfamiliar, but hospitable, limestone and gravel, deep pools, much deeper than I'm used to in the Vermilion & the Rocky. Had brought along (feet) spikes, but never had to use them. Would like to return to the Chagrin River when I have more time to dig in, more time to put the camera away and fish.

Fishing Story #5

It was the night after the Super Moon, November 15th that I caught the most walleye I've ever caught in one fishing trip.

Super Moon 4 AM

The water was smooth as glass. There were a couple of other guys fishing on the rocks by the boat launch, but not doing very well. As Kevin was leaving I said to him, just wait until those clouds finally break and that bright moonlight hits the water, it'll make these fish go crazy. And sure enough, after everyone left me there in the silence I prefer, the clouds opened up and I started nailing em! I caught a total of 24, only keeping one for the next day's dinner table. It was quite magically being out there in all that silence, and I was relishing it all when all of a sudden I heard the clanking of metal coming from the boat launch. I turn to see a giant buck staring at me. He stood for a moment, maybe enjoying the peace just as I was, then his hooves clanked away back into the silence of the night.
