Could have been better...

I was on the river just as the sun set this evening. There were fish feeding on the surface everywhere around me. I thought it would be a great evening for sure. I caught one creek chub. not too exciting. I thought to my self it will get better. I tried every fly in the box. I stripped streamers and I tried dead drifting crayfish and nymphs. Nothing. Finally just as it got dark, I hooked a nice small mouth. The fish jumped out of the water, looked me in the eye, basically said screw you, and spit the hook at me. That was it for the evening. I hadn't been out in a few days, and may not get out again for a while. Needless to say this was a real disappointing outing.
