Sunday the 30th - it was an epic morning part deux
(Preview)
So, while Brian was busy breaking his new rod, I was busy setting a new personal record for hooked fish, every single one a native, most between 10 and 17 inches, and countless - I mean countless hooked and lost PIGs. I hooked a PIG that was so strong, the hook melted from the friction as it sped down stre...

I fished the creek this afternoon with Brian Clemens. He was making me look bad when we started. It was like I couldn't remember how to get a hit. That was until I landed a FAT 19"er. I got him on a drowned bwo pattern I've been working on. I hooked two fish that were 20+". They both broke...

Detecting Subtle Strikes While Nymphing
(Preview)
How do you differentiate subtle takes from your weight simply dragging on the bottom? I fished the Creek yesterday with marginal success; one fish to hand, and several hard hits felt on the rod. Throughout the day I watched my indicator bounce and dive quite a bit, but I passed these movements...

How big to Brook Trout get?

Was fishing this Friday afternoon in fast water with a 71/2 4wt at #5. Caught a little brookie minutes before. Kept fishing and thought I snagged until the fish jumped up to eye level with the classic markings of a Brook. It looked like about 9 inches. Powerful little guy shook out the hook like a tar...

Current Flows

I have noticed that the flows have been trending downward. If memory serves me it is still a little early for them to really start cutting the flows for the winter. However my memory does not "serve me" as well as it used to. So my question is this. Are we at the beginning of the downward trend...

Went to the creek for a couple days and decided to explore a bit since the flows are dropping. Found a way across to the other side of access 3 and fished the pocket water upstream. This turned out to be much more difficult then I planned. Every time I saw a spot that looked promising I'd get close and rea...
