Sunsine & the dry fly.

Arrived on the Stream a little before Noon, a lot of the higher streams are running low on water & becoming stale. Its been a dry spring with very little water, so the day was spent on a pretty little stream that is more low lying than I would usually fish.



Looking at the longer clear pools a lot of fish were feeding on Midge, so a Black Size 18 Klinkhammer with a Yellow post for the faster water was a very good choice.



Lifted this Guy on the second cast, nice trout for the stream, might turn into a good day?



Took a while ((Slow Careful Wading )), this long Glide, lifted a lot of fish that where more than eager to sip in the little klink. (( WARNING LOW SIDE ARM CASTING ONLY )) would have been a good title here. This little glide becomes very tight in the summer months.



The pools opened up a little to let warmth of the spring sunshine in, a little easier to cast also.



Its hard not to spook any of the trout lying in the thin water at the tail of the pool, but with a low presence & careful wading, the reward was 2 nice browns. Correct fly placement, first cast, with the (( ROBERT GORMAN ROD )).



This was (( TIGHT )) I had to crouch in the water, with a wet ass & very little room for a cast up into the right hand side of the pool. With a little skill & a rod that would give me razor sharp loops when needed this trout was taken. (( GREEN RIVER RODS )) 6 foot 3 line. RAWSONS PLACE. Sure is a very good rod for this kind of fishing. TIGHT & TOUGH.



Further upstream the stream changed, more faster water & laurel on the banks with some shade.



Sitting on a large stone in the shade, looking upstream... This did make for a nice view at what lay ahead. Sure LOOKED GOOD. After a little lunch, streamside.



Changed to a small nymph, on these type of short pools, with plenty of takers...



Last pool of the day, it was a good day in all: SUNSHINE , TROUT & A DRYFLY.
Hope you enjoyed a little stream side time with me.
