@parslii Your instructor might have to touch you to move you into the proper position. You will need water afterwards but you will think you don't while doing it. You might be sore later that evening or the next day. You might fart (especially in downward dog or cat-cow).
I'm headed to Indiana. If the weather cooperates, I will have a nice fishing week. Will hit Turkey Run Park outside of Louisville either tomorrow evening or Sunday morning. On Monday, I hope to go to Turkey Run State Park in western Indiana. Yes they have the same name; it's a coincidence. I'll work in Indiana all week where I will have access to the White River. I don't yet have a plan for the following weekend. I'm taking a tent, so Daniel Boone National Forest will be on the table. If I am impressed by Turkey Run State Park, I may go back there. If you've got some opinions about theae areas and fishing, I would love to hear them.
The bass are still busy spawning and sitting on their nests, but I was able to land one last night. My hollow deceiver looks skinny out of the water, but it has volume under water where the fibers aren't under tension.
I got a lot of refusals at a different lake last night, but they were ready to roll at Stone Mountain tonight. I've been trying out a sort of heavy deer hair bug. Fishing with a Tenkara, I am holding the fly on the surface of the water. The "too long" hook allows me to give it a lot of motion on the surface.
No glorious colors, but I was on the Chattahoochee River at sunset. Got a new fly line in the mail, and I've been out scandi casting my two-handed rod. Only caught 2 fish in 4 trips to the hooch, but the weather has been nice.
I am excited about fishing on the Cheoah River this year. Despite multiple trips up to Nantahala National Forest and fishing on nearby creeks and rivers, I have not spent any time on the Cheoah River.
There is just a short stretch of un-impounded riverbed between Santeetlah Dam and Lake Calderwood, but that is a lot of river to explore on foot.
All of the adult fish that I caught this weekend were brook trout. They must be stocked because I've not seen them in this creek before. This is the stream that I got my new-to-me Tenkara Rod Company Kita, and it worked really well on this trip. I was fishing with size #12 and #14 unweighted wet flies.
I haven't tied flies in hand for a couple of months. I caught a juvenile spotted bass with one of these on the Ocmulgee River yesterday. It was the only fish that I caught, and I caught it before my first cast! The fly was drifting in the water while I was peeling line off of the reel.
The silk thread came from a lot of vintage silk on eBay.
