The weather was nice for February, sunny with air temps about 45 degrees.

I decieded to walk a little stream I know of in Northeast CT.

The stream was spectacular, clear and crisp, with the water temp at 42 degrees.

I tied on a Bomber and with some stealth managed to bring a few of this streams little jewels up to the surface to dine.



Enjoy,

Beautiful, stream! I am jealous that you have open water, most everything an hour to the north is still iced over.

If you are getting the weather we are, any sign of spring was covered over with a foot of snow last night...a pic from USA's smallest capital.

One of the most productive small stream dry flies you can use in the northeast.

Have you ever heard of a pattern called The Animal, I think it's a Scandinavian or Dutch pattern. Looks similar to the bomber, alos very similar to the stimulator.

I have never heard of it, but I may research it and perhaps tie one.

I'm envious as well, it's a good few weeks yet before surface flies will be doing it for us over here. At least with any kind of reliability.
Always love the scenery in your posts as well.

I've just been tying up a couple of flies based on the "Animal" to use for the Grannom hatch this year, used snowshoe instead of Deer/Elk and folded it for a wing rather than cutting it, I'll be tying some following the correct pattern for later in the year though.. cool pattern.

Here's a link to a SBS for it on the UK Fly Dressing forum. I'd advise checking some of his other patterns too, Terje ties some mucho sweet flies.

Hopefully save you a little searching.
