way hot

It is very, very warm today - I won't be doing any trout fishing until it cools down some.

a couple hours on a little stream

Cool afternoon today, and water temperature in the creek was still at about 56 f. The stream must be loaded with springs. No bugs, biting or otherwise. Water was super-clear and the trout were very skittish. I caught a couple little brookies. Pricked a big brown in a deep run with a stimulator. Also had some very nice browns chase a streamer in the deepest pool in the creek. Fished until about 7:45.

a few brookies

I fished the brook trout stretch on the Credit after work today. Warm evening, water temperature in the high 60s. Not many bugs around, a few #16 tan caddis and a few big stoneflies. I caught some smallish brookies - best one 9 inches. Water a little stained, but the stretch looks good. I used to fish it quite a lot, but in recent years I've concentrated on the area below the escarpment. It was very pleasant to work the brook trout water again. I was the only fisherman on the stretch all evening.

Rain, Rain, Rain

Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain...go away, come again another day.

No fishing this weekend.
