Nine Mile Creek

[CTobias]

Well, I didn't get to fish the Letort or the Smokies because I had to run back home to do some "house work". Return line for the pool broke and needed to be dug up. Anyways, none of you care about that.

I hit Nine Mile this morning for a bit since it is only ten miles as the crow flies. I started out in a section I usually do alright in, but the water was low and gin clear. BUT, it was still nice and cold. Probably right in the ball park of 55 degrees (I lost my thermometer so it's just an uneducated guesstimation proximation). There wasn't much dry fly action going on, but I managed a couple dinks on an ant. Switched up to a brown bead head wolly bugger and caught one and missed a few, and then decided my fly looked better in the tree on the other side of the creek.

​

After walking a whole lot down stream and seeing a bunch of nothing but water and log jams (did see some carp and suckers) and a few scattered trout, I headed up to the pull off near the "cave". It's really not much of a cave, instead a nice rock under cut.

​

Started out there with a bead head nypmh and stuck with it since I did so well. Hooked and landed a bunch and all in all it was a good morning to be out on the water with no one around.

Nine mile creek was ten miles away? Im confused

Yea, it's 150 miles away from me, and that's what counts.

Lost one of the biggest browns I've ever hooked at nine mile today. The wife caught some nice browns and a stocker rainbow pushing 14". So it has been eating well.

Here are a couple pictures from the trip.

Notice the writing on the wall. It was bull shit. There was no free candy on the other end. I checked.

you got the sign wrong. Candy is a stripper that worked out on 690 and got arrested.

i love that spot you posted first, with the over hanging rocks. went up there the other day and caught 2 brookies and a brown. Almost always leave with something. Are there any other good spots near by? I've tried up the road on the other side with the parking area but not a lot of luck. Going there sometime in the next few days, thanks for the post

Now now. I can't give away ally secret spots! Anything from the "cave" to wayfarer fly shop is good water. There are some deeeeep pockets that cleared out and are wide open with no log jams in them. Has I be a hog brown lying in them. I hr a bunch of good fish along to rock retention wall when I walked down from the cave.
