4.21 Report w/pics

I stopped by a wild brookie stream on Saturday before heading for bigger water. Caught a handful of trout in about an hour and a half and the first fish of the season on a dry fly. Nothing big, but the colors on these fish more than make up for it.

Also included is a picture I took of a small snake as it was trying to climb out of the water up onto a rock. I didn't notice until zooming in on the photo today, but it seems that rock is a snake magnet. There are at least 3 other ones in that picture, on and around that big rock.

Some photos:

The snake pic

This is from another river I fished that same day. I think it's a BWO spinner. The tails on this mayfly were VERY long compared to its body. There were plenty of these guys around, along with a LOT of caddis, stoneflies, and some hendricksons thrown in here and there.

Great, wild trout are truly gems. Beautiful colors on that brookie.

Check out these three photos. I'm no expert but they look similar.
I hope this link works.
