holy cow

Hi Folks, I am glad that I did my trip in the morning yesterday because the afternoon thunderstorms and subsequent flash flooding was incredible.  Our rivers are now blown out from small streams to the big water.  Still really muggy out there and should remain that way for a couple more days.  The brook we fly fished yesterday morning had a water temperature of 59 degrees.  The water was up but very manageable.  That is until yesterday afternoon.  We had over a dozen brook trout come to the dry fly.  We did manage to land a legitimate 10" native male brook trout.  Really nice specimen. For the most part though, the fish we we caught we between 4" and 7".  The flies of the day was a #12 yellow foam thing and a #12 orange stimulator.  Nice morning.  Off to chase smallmouth from the boat.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
