Fishing is Good on the Guad

The fishing has really been good on the Guad, great luck on these colder rainy days for me. Girdle bugs, (pats jimmy legs) or woolly buggers or a Fox Squirrel followed with a prince nymph, hares ear or an emerger have been what I have been using. Though worms have done very well also.
