Creek started off with a bang as I caught a fish on my first cast. Usually this means a lousy day, but it was anything but that.
I did catch quite a few all on traditional nymphs. But the one that got away….was at the boulder hole. I hooked a beaut that took me around a fallen tree and upstream. I could not climb out of the water to get around a tree, nor could I walk around it from the shore as the water was too deep. I waited him out and he swam out! I started him toward me, when once again, he ran around the same tree and I waited another 5 min or so…until he put on a big surge and the fly popped out.
I had another huge loss while fishing off the walking bridge, but that’s another story for another time.
All in all it was a banner day, the action was continuous, cold, uncrowded and the creek as an 11.
