Christopheraaron Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky or Specks Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Generally if the chubb are hitting the water is to warm for trout fishing. It one of the signs I look for also if the dang smallmouth are hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopheraaron Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks, it was either that or sunfish, and that one little trout was defiantly worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
