fine fly fishing

Hi folks, Awful nice being on the water this time of the year.  Guided a fly trip yesterday on several small brook that hold brookies, browns, and rainbows.  We were looking to hit for the cycle and catch all 3 species in a day.  Water levels are about at the seasonal average and the clarity was excellent.  Water temperatures ranged from the low fifties to mid fifties by afternoon time.  Been sunny and bright out there so we have been fishing on shaded streams.  Interesting to see all of the Japanese knot weed along the banks of our rivers get blown over from recent floods.  Probably just spreads the stuff around even more.  The Japanese knot weed is a non-native species introduced by landscapers that has taken over our stream banks.  It has no redeeming qualities and spreads like wild fire.  So, fishing yesterday morning was solid with over 20 fish coming to the fly.  We landed rainbows and brook trout, but missed and lost a couple of brown trout.  Still good fishing with most of our takes on a #10 royal rubber legged stimulator.  Love watching trout come to the dry fly.  Never gets old.  No matching the hatch in these little brooks, but more say making a good presentation and being ready for the take.  Looks like nice weather fishing this week and I plan to take advantage with trips.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
