The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

I can't see some of Gitt's either.

Fix this thing if you want folks to post.

Paul

Paul,
I had issues with my report also and it seems to be related to the number of pictures you add to the post....I posted the verbage and added pictures in the replies...Something in the software appears to be broken....Use the preview to make sure it works....Looking forward to your report

Jet

Jet, it has nothing to do with pics cuz I didn't include any- just text.

no/msg

This bug just shows up on a random basis. Some of my posts had pics and some did not, so it's not just related to only pics. No wonder no one posts here any more!

Okay, I haven't been on much of late and I just caught these posts. There is a "feature" in this software that locks up a post if it has too many carriage returns in it. So if you hit return at the end of each line to make the post more compact (I used to on the old board), the post gets locked up. It is also possible that a long post may cause the same issue. That is my best guess for what is happening to your posts. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to find a fix for it. I am really sorry that it happened, and I am sorry I don't know how to fix it.

Another alternative might be to submit your post as an article to be posted on the front page. I am sure it would be an excellent read

My apologies for the software glitches,
Dawn

This is the 7th attempt to post this frigging fishing report. The_Keeper_of_the_Light has made an anlogy between this board's software and an automobile that should be returned for a refund, the problem is, with this board, the users have gotten what they've paid for. The revisionists have probably infected the operating system with bobbers.

So, after receiving word from my spy (Silent Reader, thanks Neal) that the bite was on the week of the 6th, I packed one fly rod and two fly boxes (one with Baetis imitations and one with October Caddis imitations), along with the tent, some single malt scotch, and food, and spent 4 days and 3 nights camped at Riverside Campground near Dunsmuir between the 16th and 19th of October.

Fishing was off & on, hot and cold...a couple here and a few over there.

Weather was my excuse...clear skies, no clouds, air temps in the high 70's.

While many October Caddis were in the air (hatching in the evening & posting sporatic during the day) fish didn't appear to be on them or on the big orange pupas I was raking across the bottom.

Fishing either in the campground area, above the parking area at Tauhindauli Park, or below the City Park, I caught fish on a really small black head nymph or dark colored Serendipities (like there's a lot of difference) and small Adams parachutes (drifted in the shadows)...a couple came to the net farther downstream on Sunday to a Bead Head Green Lightning Bug as I was on my way home.

I saw Jet and son fishing the way a father and son should and had the unexpected pleasure of meeting up with the widow and son of a fishing partner who were celebrating his life on a stream that he loved.

While some of the folks with whom I was camping and fishing landed fish up to 19.5 inches (taped), I couldn't break 16 inches on this trip (except for one that left too soon with one of my flies in its jaw that may have been larger) but, I caught fish each day in each place I fished and I didn't litter the stream with any plastic thingyabobbers or skeins of brightly colored yarn.

I've done better and worse fishing up there but the socialization (as opposed to socialism)as well as the beer (it seems there was a keg at the campground) and scotch consumed around a campfire are always worth the trip.

Should be good now too.

Paul
