Fly By

Well, I start my new job tomorrow at Truckee Meadows Water Authority.  So in an attempt to squeeze out one more day of slackerhood I decided to go fishing.  It was between fishing the river, which was really close to being clear enough to fish, or head out to Pyramid and try yet again to catch a fish in the teeners.  Yet again it was slow, my buddy Jordan and I had maybe 7 fish between us all day.  Even with a stiff east breeze and some early cloud cover we couldn't track down a monster.  It was a good learning event, which is what Pyramid seems to be these days, coupled with frustration.  We also had the pleasure of having our ear drums blown out by two fighter jets that decided to do a fly by over the north and south nets.  Those bastards were about 100' or less over our heads flying ass to tail, pretty cool stuff.  The fish below is a testament to the unseasonably fall weather we have had this winter.  The summit strain has kicked into spawn mode and is showing their bright red colors already.
