Left the house at 7:30 this morning, got to the river at 8:30, planned to fish the whole day for brookies and browns with spinners and small nymphs.
5 minutes in and FISH ON! Ya, fish on but not what I wanted, just a small chub, followed by 2 more.
Headed downstream through a thick forest of ferns, into a nice deep pool, after an hour of chucking mepps through the pools with no results ( and one lost lure ) I decided it was time to move again.
Now downstream I find the best looking area yet, more chub on flies so I threw the mepps around again, nothing. Switched to dries, again nothing, took a silt sample with my trout net and found some larvae, tied on a prince nymph and got my trout! A little 5 inch brown, and then back to the chub.
Good day, 1 trout, nice area but I don't think I'm going back to that spot for a while.
