There is something for everyone. So mark your calendars and bring tons of cash, so you can bid heavily and buy me some beers.
This time of year, you take what you can get, when you can get it. Last weekend, I took a few hours on Saturday. I nymphed for two hours or so and was able to land two nice, wild fish. One a 12" brookie with a nicely kyped jaw. The other a healthy 10" brown. They both took a jig head hairs ear.
As I am going to be in Pennsy tonight, Im going to try my luck in the Easton area on the way home Saturday morning. Nothing fancy, just some time to be alone and see what might happen. The possibilities are what keep us casting.
I picked up Bryson and Alex yesterday and we scooted over to the South Branch. We started out in my favorite stretch. All three of us nymphed. Bryson topped the list with 9 fish, the best of which was a 16" brown that was just beautiful. Alex was good for 5 fish. No standouts for him though-he was stuck in the slot. I had one wild brown and a nice 16" holdover rainbow. I may have brought up the rear on volume, but I was pleased with my time.
We then went to another spot downriver for an hour and the action turned off like a lightswitch. Nada, zippo, blank. Oh well, by that point the sun was going down and it was getting cold. I am really starting to feel the cold, where I didnt in years past, I am getting old. The seeping waders couldnt have helped.
The best flies of the day were the sexy walts worm and a zug bug. Tie some up!
See you on the water.
