it was a great day for photography

Post by Ron Mc »

My buddy Rob was down from Dallas, staying with his wife at a B&B in Blanco. I picked him up Saturday morning, and brought him back to Rebecca's Creek
Image

Yes, I took him to the waterfall - you come visit me, I'll take you there, too.
Image

The light was splendid
Image

I told Rob, I can't fish, the photography is too good.
Image

You knew better, anyway.
Image

I ended up squatting on a rock, casting parallel to the plunge, counting down, then watching a half-dozen Guadalupe bass follow my fly back in.
And sometimes...
Image

Coming back down - Rob's hooked up here.
Check out the trico hatch.

My bass from the giant cypress at the tailout of the big pool.

The view down Snake Island

Rob on the last gravel bar.

I told him to fish this pool before he waded down there.
I could see the bass turning to feed in the bottom of the pool.
Image

Y'all come back now.


Rob was fishing one of his cane builds, a very nice 6-wt. 7'9" semi-parabolic rod, with a c. '40s Medalist.
I was fishing my Vince Cummings Water Witch glass rod with my early 30s click-pawl Medalist.

Hello down there Ron:

Those are beautiful photos. Everything, certainly including the fine looking rod and reel. I love those Medalists.

And a fine Saint Patrick's day to all.
