Yes, for the first time in about 3 years, I pulled a skunk, a blank on the Yuba. I worked Saturday, so took the opportunity to avoid the weekend crowd on the Y.

Just another reminder to be careful not to leave exposed gear in your car. It's hard sometimes when you are fishing your way back home and only carry one rod to the river but you brought 3 for the trip. Lucky nobody ripped me off on the same river but it could have easily happened. Another nice spey ree...

Fly Leader Update
