The colors are still pretty, maybe he will go on to make little wild char. |
I went back down stream to sight fish for stocked trout with a streamer. The pattern was a yellow marabou streamer. The first fish I sought out was a toad of a brooky, clearly a broodstock. What is the chance that he would want to eat? I dumped the fly on his nose and eat it he did. After a while I was able to tail and land the pig. We was every bit as long as my forearm. I wish I could say my PB Brooky was a native, but this ugly beast kicked the previous record out of the way. Looks like its time to plan a trip to Maine!
That was a good day, nice catches, even with low water. It's so nice to see a stream with no Japanese knotweed chocking everything out. The trout are magnificent.
ReplyDeleteFish on...
Thanks!
DeleteI'd say that was a good day!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't bad by any means...
Deletetoo bad about the water levels.. A lot of work just popped up for me with the Eight Mile and since ill be moving out at the end of the month to go to school, I don't think Ill have as much time as id like to get on the water. How far up do you go? it looks like the state land on the map goes all the way up to Flood Rd. It would be quite a hike with no trails but anything for a few 8inch fish....wait what? hahahaaa -WeightForward
