I waded, clambered, slipped up that little creek that I was hoping to catch brook trout from but with no luck. The creek was pretty enough with ferns, overhanging trees and moss covered boulders. There were many small dinner table sized pools with shallow connecting runs. If I was a self respecting brook trout, I'd set up house there. However, I did not catch any fish, brook trout or others. That's not to say the creek doesn't contain trout, it's just that I wasn't able to tempt them with the flies I threw at them--bead head nymphs, Royal Coachman and black wooly worm.
On the way home I stopped at the Badger Creek which is a small creek about 5 minutes drive from home. I cast a Bibio Hopper upstream and near the fallen branches in the larger pools. A trout came out of the tangled branches in one hole and took the sunken fly but I missed him.
No trout today but I enjoyed fishing these two small waters.
Cheers,
Steve.
