This new stream was located in a beautiful forest, and it's series of pools, plunges, and waterfalls immediately shouted to me "Brookies live here!". That is very clearly the case, some terrific wild specimens came to both of our hand from this water. The Bomber worked, but in a bit I determined that some of the fish required something deeper. A Royal Coachmen was my best producer.
The first to hand on the wet fly stands out in my memory as one of the most remarkable in the red spot department. Big pink circles graced the flanks of this jewel.
The big one of the day was already in fall colors, a healthy female of good proprtions.
Another stunning fish. |
Thanks for sharing your waters friend, and I'm sure this will not be the last time our paths cross in brook trout forest.
So great to see two extremely capable anglers fish together.
ReplyDeleteThat is often the best way to get good results.

ReplyDeleteSomehow I knew it was just a matter of time before you guys made a trip together. I envy both you guys--thanks for sharing
Thank you.
DeleteIt was very enjoyable fishing with you today.
ReplyDeleteAnd the brook trout seemed to cooperate.
What a trip! Is that your first one with Alan? The blue sheen on that big female really stands out as do the pink spots on the others...stunning! I'm surprised that shaded run in the last picture didn't yield anything, but I guess there's always next time.
ReplyDeleteYes it was. As Alan said that last stream is either generous or it isn't at all.
DeleteNice trip on those two beautiful streams with a fellow fisherman. The natives look great. Wish I was there!!!
ReplyDeleteTie, fish, write and photo on...
