Once again, the weather prognosticaters had proven that their job is better left to leaf readers and Ouija boards.

I’d taken a good day of vacation to take my daughter Cokie fishing while she was off on Easter break. We were hoping to hit a home run on big bream at Lake Concordia.

Mike LaFleur fishes the north side of Caminada Pass during last September’s Ride the Bull kayak fishing rodeo held at Grand Isle. Although no entrant in the Fly Division hooked a red that day, LaFleur did land a 17-pounder on fly the afternoon before. Fetch a fly tournament

Belle, my faithful collie, often accompanies me to the nearby park for some fishing on the pond. But first she requires we make a stop at the adjacent dog park.

Just a few of the many flies prefered by sacalait in national taste tests: the Cap Spider, Red Wobbler, Coma Charlie, Mini-Jig, Fluff Butt, Clouser Minnow, Sibley Special. Take a holiday for sac-a-lait

Fishing is a lifetime pursuit; one never stops learning. Sometimes the education comes from books, videos or seminars. Sometimes it comes from the kids down the street.

Although channel catfish will readily take a fly, there are currently no entries for that species in the Fly Fish Division records. Stop before you clean it
