The Rose and the Rapidan, fun creeks to fish. Mems

Thanks for that---I've managed to fish a few times in that park. Always fun--and you captured it. The first time, I couldn't seem to catch anything until I finally went into full sneak mode and crawled up to a pool from behind a rock. I stayed behind the rock and only exposed the very tip of my rod--and kind of Tenkara'd my fly. No problem after that--they were eager to eat but as you say--super wary.

One of the streams I fished was a tributary to the Rose.

I was taught a lesson in stealth very quickly by those brookies.

I notice you got the brookie on a floating black ant. I found a bead head black ant with rubber legs that was awesome on the trout in the SNP. A grey beetle fly also is a good choice. I think Murry's flyshop had them both. I still have some black ants and they rock on feeder creeks in Montana. Wet wading up stream is the way to go. Thanks for the picture, Mems.

Murray's shop is quite the place, as is Harry. There's a good bar-b-que next door....some great sausage.

Wow, look at those vibrant colours....
Love the golden spots on a bronze background, red & orange hues,
plus the flick of white on the fins...just gorgeous.

In this anglers opinion there's nothing more spectacular in the natural world then a male brook trout in its Autumn colors.
I'm with you on the white tipped fins. They say they are a remnant from the last ice age.
