…right back where we started from. It’s been a long time since I’ve had the opportunity to make a fishing related post. So much has happened since I last fished, with my buddy Coty, the day after Christmas. My wife and I were blessed with a daughter, our first child, in February so fishing has been on hiatus. I haven’t tied a fly, wrapped a guide on a blank for months…I’m not even sure where half of my tying supplies are currently living. I received a message from Coty that the olives had begun showing themselves this year. I then recveived a subsequent message from another friend stating that he was going to be camping out in central Pennsylvania for the week. Things had settled down somewhat at home so I decided to go for a ride.
Like Ice Cube said, it was a good day.
It turned out to be a perfect early March day. A little rain from overnight had the creek up and a little off color but that didn’t affect the fishing. The temperature settled in around 35*F with occasional gusts of wind and the overcast sky never cleared up. Just like I like it.
The baetis made their appearance right on schedule, nice big ones too. The trout started a little earlier than the duns riding the surface. Probably slashing at emergers. A couple of hours of solid risers made for a really enjoyable day and my first dry fly action since I can’t remember when. Thanks Bill for letting me tag along.
A lot of good sized fish were working the same pool.
I hope everyone made it through winter ok. Thanks for reading.
