Back to my dayhike creek.

This was a day!  Left the car about 9:15 am. Got back about 4:30 pm. Hiked almost 5 miles. Fished 2 streams. Caught about 30 wild browns, most on dry flys. Ants, beetles, and inch worms. Biggest was about 15”. That one was on a 6’6” 2wt.

After hours of only seeing Alabama bass we climbed up a waterfall and the stream was loaded with warrior bass.

Was a fun game of creek chub grabbing in this new to me creek. water was pretty low so it was interesting putting my skills to the test in reading holding positions

2 solid natives on a hopper. It’s prime time

Drove 3 hours north from the city and carhopped a few Delaware River tributaries. Water was low, even on all the big rivers.

7.5ft 3wt w/ 5X (?) leader. Green chubby Chernobyl dry and bead head droppers about 14” down. All like size 14-18. Started with a pheasant tail soft hackle then switched to hare’s ear. Only had one slap at the dry and miss. Everything hit the nymphs.

Lost a few droppers because I was clinching to the hook, but it’s barbless so kept slipping off. After I figured that out I started dropping from the eye of the chubby and that solved it.

Caught lots of trees but managed to pull a few rainbows too!
