Baetis Pool?

Headhunters, as of yesterday, has started the Baetis Pool. When will they arrive? I know gambling is not allowed in the office, but who's looking anyway. It is a $5 buy-in, winner takes all.

If you look at the pic on the right, you will see what we have been seeing...a whole lot of NOTHING...save for the midges, which the fish have not been too excited about. An occasional splashy juvenile rise...just like teenagers...making a whole series of inappropriate bad decisions...over and over and over!

It is the 20th of April and still no BWO's. It's OK, but would be great to throw a couple dries at sipping fishy's. The god news of the week is the nymphing has turned around and we are catching some fish...they are in more places than the winter soft edge buckets. Hooray!

Get your fishing pals, your co-workers, your family and start your own BWO Pool. Make it interesting and each toss a C note into the mix. Now that the NCAA March Madness is over, most of us need to find a new gambling fix. This is it.

Get down on your knees and pray to the Baetis god's. Sacrifice your old glass rods, the expired monofiliment that you haven't passed on to the buddies you don't like, that stinky whitefish on your trunk, and shotgun a Budweiser.

It's coming, it's coming, the Baetis are coming...hide some gear in the truck...and tell your wife you are going out for milk...
