Mike:
Sorry to hear about your shoulder problems. I can directly relate. Last year this time my right shoulder wouldn’t allow me to throw more than a few short casts without having to medicate and ice it. December 5 I had corrective surgery for the tears. It’s been a painful road back, daily rehab routines, lots of ice, still occasional OTC pain meds as needed but after almost 8 months I’m 95% back to long sessions on the river. Glad to share my experience in more detail, just email me so we don’t bore the rest of the club. Did I mention ice?
BTW-
Water temp was 67.9 Saturday 7/3. It was off color and 200cfs. Lots of flotsam and suspended materials. I fished 1-4pm, and went a whopping 1/2. Saw 2-3 rises, the air seemed lifeless with no obvious bug activity of any kind. Zero terrestrials seen. We had 50 degree air here on Friday am. Best guess is the cold spell shut the bite down for now. Either that or I just really stunk.
