Sept 7th report
(Preview)
So - I went out to the creek Friday hoping to hook up with a few fellow 'posters' but I saw no one.? In a way, that was nice, because part of the appeal of fly fishing to me is the solitude it affords me.? Having said that, I am looking forward to fishing with other posters. I hit the water above access three aro...

the trout strikes back

One day ago, at a creek not so far away, a battle between man and fish was waged.... ??? I arrived at 4pm hoping that the hazy skies and cooler temperatures would help the bite a little.? What I found was astonishing.? Bait fishers crowded the creek like zombies, stumbling out of bushes all around me moan...

Went out early in the morning to fish the creek.? My plan was to fish pocket water for the day but it wasn't producing (one 10" wild bow on a #20 pt) so I decided to nymph the flatter runs above deep pools instead.? Didn't have much luck until after noon when I started getting into some planters on a #22...
