Today was a day for wild things. I did some hiking, some brook trout stalking, and just had some just general outdoor enjoyment. The flies I used today were the pink worm, the Humpy, and the BT Hair Tail (thanks Alan, it's a good fly). They each caught fish. Most were not in the mood for photography and frankly neither was I. I saw some dear, some red tailed hawks, and I even heard some wood frogs in a vernal pool. It's spring, they said.

On part of the hike I passed a ledge and found this boulder full of garnet. Also, a rare water soluble mineral.

Sounds like you had a great overall day out there with a little of everything. Spring is definitely here! What is the BT Hair Tail fly?
ReplyDeleteCheck one of the recent posts on Small Stream Reflections, I think it was a post about Appalachian brook trout flies.
DeleteLooks like your stream cleared up. The one we fished yesterday was a tad off color.
ReplyDeleteIt's getting better though.
Thanks,
DeleteI was a bit worried on the trip out there. There isn't all that much snow left to melt.
