Pouring Rain, Pocket Water and Wild Browns

[Rambler23]

Since my fishing has been confined to weekends these days, I get out whenever I can. So today I drove a little further than normal in order in order to attempt to escape the high water. I found myself at a wild trout stream that I had not been to in quite some time, and to my surprise the conditions were excellent.

I got on the water nice and early to see both male and female tricos coming off in small numbers, but the fish were not keying in on them. After blind casting tricos and nymphing with no success, I found myself scratching my head thinking what to do next.

Next, I saw one single yellow sally come off the water, and I thought what the hell, I'll give it a shot. I tied on a yellow stimulator, cast out, and who would have guessed it, a nice little wild brown came up and took the fly. I got a couple more on the stimulator and one on a prince nymph. Small fish, but a beautiful setting and just relaxing to be on the water.

The lightning came earlier than expected, which sent me on my way earlier than I had hoped. took a few pics also.





NOTE: This stream is NOT located in the Tug Hill Region

Direction please from Rte 78 Clinton NJ to wild trout stream not in Tug Hill region. I catch trouts on nymph very well I teach you we fish.

Also, did you at least mark out the trail you used with flourescent tape to make it easier for your fellow anglers to find

If that was the spot I fished yesterday, flourescent orange tape has been removed

Rambler,

Thanks for not burning that nice little stream and for PMing me directions to that spot in the second pic.

Nice report.

Nice pics. Thats my type of stream.

Yeah, don't make the mistake I did and even name the region in which you like to fish.

That's too funny because I was only kidding about that.

[Rambler23]

haha no florescent tape, just follow the trail of size 14 yellow stimulators caught in the trees

Now that is not fair.

How am I to bring all my friends there...

Alright. You caught me, it's a lie.

Ok, how am I going to find my way there?

Will you be my friend? I don't have any,
not since I got up in the middle of the night
last week and stepped on and killed my
pet hamster Liberace.

Feeder off the Willo. Looked like someone had stock in the stuff.
