Rain Moves In, Doesn't Stop the Fly Fishing!

February 3, 2009
Yesterday I complained about too much sun, too early.

Today it started drizzling around 3am, and was full blown rain by 7am. I had a solo flyfisherman, and would have fully expected him to "call it a day" at 9am, but he was tenacious!

The client, Bruce, an avid flyfisherman, just kept at it through the rain; at least the wind wasn't heavy. He used my lighter fly pole and some white flies I have specially for the guapote in the cove areas.
And Bruce was rewarded with a couple of medium sized guapote. He only stopped to eat when we moved spots in the coves, then he was standing up and back at it. He got a number of strikes, too, in addition to the few he landed.

We fished the Rainbow Bay area, near Nuevo Arenal where we live, and it has nice coves and protection from the wind that can build up rolling across the lake.

I was glad for my rainsuit, today. What will tomorrow's weather hold? I've got another tour, they just aren't confirmed yet for the morning, or the afternoon.
